THE JACK IN THE BOX!!

Something that caught my attention in this chapter was about a local restaurant called Jack in the Box. An outbreak began of food poisoning and officials traced it to this restaurant. They were cooking undercooked hamburgers, and  Around this time approximately two hundred people were sick and had to be hospitalized, and sadly four people died most of these victims were children. A girl named Lauren Beth Rudolph ate one hamburger from jack in the box a week before Christmas she was sent to the hospital on Christmas eve she suffered terrible pains and has three heart attacks dies in her MOTHER’S ARMS on December 28,1992..She was also six years old
          The quotation I decide to use which is on pg 199 is “The jack in the box chain almost went out of business amid all the publicity” the reason why I chose this quotation is because how after all the outbreaks why didn’t the F.D.A or the government or someone say we are going to stop serving this its causing too much of a destruction. This right here really caught my eye how can people died and get terrible sick that not even the company has any pity this is what is exactly going on right now with the obesity aned to this day people are still getiing sick thousands of have been hospitalizad, and hundreds died

What i have decided to write about is how corn syrup. It is used for just about anything and mostly everything i recenlty checked my kitchen cabinets and i would say about 75% of my products had corn syrup or some type of high fructose.

My blog project

For my blog project I decide to do something different, what I’m going to write about is Blimpie. I’m planning to eat Blimpie every week and eat everything that is on the menu, write about discuss about their calories, nutritions and everything they have on their menu. Blimpie is actually one of my favorite places to go to eat back when I was around 12 or 13 years old I was more on the obese side, but that summer all I ate was Blimpie literally every day. What I ate was oven roasted turkey and provolone with American cheese, lettuces, tomatoes, oil, vinegar, little bit of salt and mayo to be quite honest is one of the best sandwich that I ever had. The reason why I chose this theme is because it relates to my past, in a weird way Blimpie made me want to eat better and help me lose weight as funny as that sounds, I always eat Blimpie all the time so why not blog about something the affects me every day. I’m also curious to find out is Blimpie consider to be a fast food restaurant as well even though I never saw Blimpie in that category, I don’t think it is but I’m going to dig deeper to find Blimpie roots and who knows this can help understand my favorite eating place better. If u guys have any ideas or suggestions please let me know what else u got in mind I’m open to different ideas..

kelvins blog

To all my readers welcome to my blog my name is kelvin i don't have much to say about me but i keep things simple and easy i feel like that works best for me.I really don't cook during the week because I'm always working but in the weekends i do when i have time or just go out to eat.One of my favorite foods of course is Spanish like rice and chicken as well as pork chops.I love food and the way u can combine different things together. At first i wanted to be a chef and went to a school for that but didn't have much much time for it because i was still in my finally year of high school and was working a full time job.

I use to eat so often i ended up gaining weight but i changed my eating habits to lose weight and feel healthier I'm saying i was over weight but if i didn't changed my bad habit there's a chance i could have been.So yea I'm always careful now what i eat and how often do i eat it because not only can it provide a physical problem it can also provide a health concern so if anyone has any question feel free to ask I'm a very open person and easy to talk to
