The topic whether meat or vegetarian diet is the better choice is a bone of contention for centuries. Admittedly, it is very difficult to figure out the advantages and disadvantages of both diets to determine what ways one overweighs the other.

Dear Jannette:

Over the years I have watched you gain more and more weight and I fear for you because diabetes runs in your family. If you continue to gain weight and become diabetic without doubt ...

In David Foster Wallace’s seminal nonfiction essay “Consider the Lobster,” the noted author reports for a culinary magazine his experiences at the 2004 Maine Lobster Festival. According to Wallace, “The Maine Lobster Festival represents less an intersection of the [tourism and lobster] industries than a deliberate collision, joyful and lucrative and loud” (Wallace). From basic descriptions of the etymology and history of the lobster and the event itself, Wallace moves on to even stickier metaphysical questions as to the nature of this ritualistic delicacy, even approaching moral questions as to the ethics of cooking and killing lobster. While a consensus is ...

In Laura Esquivel’s trenchant and fascinating novel Like Water for Chocolate, young girl Tita learns how to find her own voice in a patriarchal, restrictive Latin society through the art of cooking. According to Canadian author Pat Tryer, "Ultimately, Tita negotiates a voice through the elaborate, fantastical recipes she creates, thereby subverting gender suppression by speaking through the stereotypical women's sphere of cooking. These recipes and their fantastic results mirror and reinforce the central theme of the novel, that of the suppression of the female voice and its inevitable explosion of expression everywhere”.

Introduction.

Cases of diabetes are currently on the rise yet most of them are preventable while some can even be reversed if people adopt healthy lifestyles. Taking steps to control or prevent diabetes is not a deprivation of diet, as many would think, but it is a step taken to control glucose intake in the body, which result to rise in insulin levels. Eating right should be a concern whether one is diagnosed with diabetes or not, and being diabetic does not mean that one cannot eat right. Diabetes involves a lot of changes in the diet, which many consider as deprivation to the ...

The story “diary of a madman” was written by Lu Xun and was first published in 1918. It is a political allegory that largely criticizes the traditional Chinese system of governance.

In a qualitative study, Bryon, Gastmans & de Casterle (2012) explored the experiences of nurses with nurse-physician communication that occurred during decision-making for artificial nutrition or hydration (ANH) among hospitalised dementia patients. Twenty-one nurses in nine hospitals in Belgium were selected for semi-structured interviews as they reflected a wide range of personal characteristics and practice experiences. Successful advocacy for the dying patient and his family, a nurse’s ethical responsibility, depends on the quality of interdisciplinary communication. From data analysis which used a grounded theory framework emerged three factors influencing the nurse-physician communication: the attitudes of physicians toward nurses, the attitude of nurses toward ...

Over the last 30 years, the UAE has experienced rapid socio-cultural changes that have been brought about by the growing economy of the Arabian Gulf Region due to the discovery of oil (Bin Zaal, Musaiger & D’Souza 2009).

Here the child implies that he would always be alert and expect anything. This is due to the bad treatment that he had been accustomed.
In life, we usually have situations that make us afraid and hence taking caution and being prepared for the worst. There is usually nothing we can do about them yet we just have to take some measures to ensure we are on the defensive,

Literature Review: Gail Carson Levine's Ella Enchanted

Food has always been associated with physical nourishment, but in Gail Carson Levine's children's novel, Ella Enchanted, food takes different meanings. Reimer describes food as "sustainable consumption" (35) and "pleasure" (35) associated with the protagonists on one hand, and as cause for domination (35) and greed (38) to represent the antagonists on the other hand. Elizabeth Reimer, whose literary expertise lies on children's literature, women's life history, and fiction writing teaches at the Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia (Reimer 53). For the purpose of this review, the subject of discussion is Reimer's "Consumption, Femininity, and Girl Power in ...

Franz Kafka wrote The Metamorphosis no so long after he had finished writing The Judgment. It must be noted that the two stories have a lot in common. After reading The Metamorphosis if a look is taken into the biographical and historical context of Kafka, it can be argued that this story that the author published in 1912 expresses not only his own sense of self-alienation but other various other aspects of his life. Like Kafka, the main character of the novel, Gregor Samsa is a German Jew living in seriously anti-Semitic times. Samsa’s metamorphosis into an abominable insect can be ...

In 2008, almost thirteen hundred US citizens had fallen ill from Salmonella poisoning, where raw consumed tomatoes initially assumed to be the bearer of Salmonella poisoning.

Each year, between 250,000 and 500,000 children lose their sight because they do not consume enough Vitamin A, and half of those will die within twelve months of losing their sight.

In addition to night blindness, Vitamin A deficiency can impair ...

Economists most often use elasticity to measure the variation of variables like price, demand and supply of certain categories of products.

Price elasticity of demand is defined as a measure of the rate of response of the quantity demanded due to a change in price. The formula to calculate this is: give as Price elasticity of demand = Proportionate ...

Ian McNulty’s review of the Courtyard Grill is a fair example of a restaurant review.

It is clear from reading the review that McNulty is writing an assessment of a Middle Eastern style restaurant, so there is no confusion about his subject. McNulty’s ethos is trustworthy since the review supplies evidence he has visited and eaten at the Courtyard Grill ...

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009).
