Entry #9: Topics in Food Quest

 The drawing that I chose I felt should be shared with the class is about two men, one behind a stand with the sign that says FAST FOOD, the second man is a customer looking up at the sign and sarcastically remarking how it was clever to include an ‘S’ in the word FAST.

I chose this comic because it is a simple and effective way to subtly hint at the fact that fast food may be fast, but it isn’t healthy. The customer’s remark implies that the sign would really mean FAT FOOD, which is true, because consuming fast food regularly increases a person's weight and has to many unhealthy ingredients in it.


This drawing is relevant because it shows a truth to fast food businesses, it may be fast to serve its customers in only a few short minutes, but it is also serves as a downside because while it may satisfy hunger, it also harms the consumer

    I liked that you picked humor as your way to approach this blog. I was personally having trouble as to what I should write about and your blog is my new example thank you!

    This is a clever comic! I like how it uses humor to point out the hidden truth about fast food—it may be quick, but it's not always healthy. Great choice!

    When it comes to the foods that people consume, some now care more about the speed at which they can get it compared to the nutrients that it can give to them. It shows that fast food companies have one thing in common. They care about the money aspect, not the side that is impacting the customer.

    I love that you picked this comic. It definitely describes this day and age about fast food and shows what it is.

Entry #6: Statistically speaking...

Image
  If you are reading this, then I presume that you know what Russian Roulette is. But if you don’t, it is a game originating around the late 1800s in Russia that involves a certain number of players (at least two) and a revolver with a single round loaded. The players will then place the muzzle either to themselves or to their opponent. A fairly lethal game that ends with at least one person dying. However, people claim that the game is lethal and wrong to play, it is gambling with your life and you will most likely lose, but the game isn’t always lethal. The game is not as full of death as people make it out to be. Statistically speaking, Russian Roulette could be considered a safe game to play, as crazy as it sounds. If you were to interview 100 people who have played Russian Roulette, all 100 of those people have survived the game and lived to tell the tale. So, if we’re talking about statistics here, it means that Russian Roulette is 100% safe since the survival rate is 100%. A...

Entry #2: Would you?

One of the many time travel questions people ask is, “Would you go back in time and kill baby Hitler?”. This questions is purely for the sake of wondering what people would do if given the chance, but what if you could? Imagine you are in that situation, not a “What if?” or “Would you?” situation, but you did, in fact, go back in time and kill baby Hitler? In our current timeline you would be hailed as a hero for saving many people from certain death or corruption, but to the people of that time you would be a monster, a baby killer. You wouldn’t be able to explain anything to anyone in that time, they wouldn’t believe you anyways. Nobody would believe that you are from the future and came to their time to kill this baby to save thousands of lives, they would think you are insane or some nutcase. It makes you think about all those who have killed babies and have been called monsters for it. It makes you wonder if they were all just heroes from the future trying to prevent a horrible ev...

Entry #8: Un-Obese the Morbidly

Image
 Obesity is a major problem around the world, especially in the United States. According to statistics, around 100 million people in the United States alone suffer from obesity. This is why a theoretical proposal was made to create something to fix that problem. This proposal will bring something forth called 'Fat Camps'. The idea for these Fat Camps will be for the obese and the obese only. Morbidly obese people will be brought to these Fat Camps in order to lose weight. The people here will not receive inhumane treatment and will be treated to accommodate their needs, such as private rooms and bathrooms. The people here will have to lose weight through activities and exercise (Walking, hiking, swimming, etc.). The morbidly obese at the Fat Camps will be treated fairly, those will special needs such as disability will receive more attention from staff. Doctor-recommended diets will be placed and there will be daily exercise implemented. These Fat Camps will be legally enforced...
