My Possible Primary Sources

Primary Source #1








I found this poster of the movie "Fast Food Nation" very interesting. A baby is wearing the Stars and Stripes patterned diaper. This baby is stretching his hands to hamburgers. This poster is indicating that American people, since their babyhood, are exposed to fast food. I could see that Americans are closely related to fast food as seen in the poster. When I first came to America, every time I eat fast food, what I could hear from my friends was, “Lindsey, you’re Americanized!”










Primary Source #2






This painting, easily accessible on the Internet, was very interesting, but funny at the same time. The two people are fighting in a factory area. These two people are not ordinary. One on the left is Ronald, the mascot of McDonald’s; one on the right is Colonel Sanders, the founder and the mascot of KFC. The painter is representing competition between fast food chains by using their mascots.

What's in my refrigerator?

As a college student living in the dorm, I don’t have any special kinds of food in my refrigerator. What I have in my refrigerator are:

1. Some frozen food
2. Soymilk
3. Pomegranate juice
4. Some salads
5. Canned fruit

Reflecting to the item lists that are in my refrigerator, you can see that I care about my health. Firstly, though some frozen foods are not necessarily good for our health, I still keep those in my refrigerator in case I don’t have chance to get food in the market place. Since I hate to go hungry, frozen food is something that I have to keep in my refrigerator. Secondly, I have much soymilk in my refrigerator. Soymilk is not only tasty but also good for our health because it is made with soybean, that has plenty protein. Thirdly, pomegranate juice has plenty antioxidants that lowers the risk of diseases. Fourthly, I have some salads in my refrigerator that are rich in minerals and fibers. Finally, I have canned fruit because I prefer to eat with canned fruit than any kinds of dressings when I eat salads. It is easy to know that I was grown up in a family that cares a lot about health. However, no one would be able to know what kind of person I am, other than the fact that I care about my health.
