The word sausage is derived from the Latin word salsus meaning salted. The making and producing of sausage was started well over two thousand years ago. Some of the basic ways to make sausages are very old and the industry is always adapting to new ways to produce the sausages, because as time goes on, things have to change. The sausage was always part of man’s diet. They say that the first mentioned sausage was found in the Greek play the Orya, also known as the sausage. This play was written about 500 B.C.
Back when there was no form of refrigeration people would make sausages as a way to keep and preserve their meats. Plus when they discovered the new spices dry sausage was born, because of these new spices they helped give the sausages more flavor as well as preserve them better. When it comes to making sausages they are normally put into two different categories, fresh and cured. Fresh sausages basically mean that they are cooked just before one was to serve it. Cured sausages are basically either completely dried or semi dried.

The food industry is in a state of necessary revolution, for obesity rates seem to be rising exponentially, counties striving to develop have hit lack-of-food road blocks, and massive animal farms produce threats such as unethical treatment of animals and food-borne pathogen spikes. With these dilemmas revolving around the food world, it is natural for one to ponder, “Are human’s inherently omnivorous, eating both animal and plant based products, or were we suppose to be receiving nutrients solely from a vegetarian diet?” Kathy Freston, author of The Lean: A Revolutionary (and Simple!) 30-Day Plan for Healthy, Lasting Weight Loss, discusses her viewpoint surrounding the dilemma by writing “Shattering the Meat Myth: Humans are Natural Vegetarians.” Freston’s answer to the questions presented above
My Year of Meats (Ozeki) tells the story of two women in two very different parts of the world, and their tumultuous, life-changing journey with meat over the course of a year. Both characters come face to face with situations that test their beliefs and morals, as well as their resolve. There are many themes and lessons that come out of the two women’s’ journey regarding the media, meat products and capitalism, but one of the majors themes that is present in all aspects of the story is the idea of how ideals are carried through society. At one point or another, both women are faced with a choice to either continue on the path their life is currently on, or go against society and change their course. Ruth Ozeki supports the idea in her book that in order to be truly happy and have a less stereotypical society, each individual member of society must be willing to look at their own lives and change it themselves; otherwise, true change will never happen, and society will never be able to move past its limiting views.

Medieval Food Food is something that all people have always and will always need to consume in order to survive and thrive. Not only this, but it is also has an important societal function. Food is an important part of celebrations and sometimes dictates roles in societies. In Medieval society food was important for banquets, what was eaten by a person could denote what class a person was from, and was often mentioned in the literature. For my project I presented desserts, bread, and a couple of drinks.
Running for a position of power is a tough thing to do. There are many things to worry about: your image, your policies, and, especially, your voters. While running for Congress is not as stressful as running for president, it has it own set of obstacles: making a “home style,” representing the people well, and making useful public policy. Listening to the words of Richard Fenno, John Ellwood, and Eric Patashnik can make doing these things a whole lot easier.
According to Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation, "Fast food has had an enormous impact not only on our eating habits but on our economy, our culture, and our values"(3). According to Roni Rabin on any given day, about one quarter of U.S. adults visit a fast-food restaurant. The typical American now eats about three hamburgers each week (2). Schlosser also writes that “thirty years ago Americans spent about six billion dollars annually on fast food. In the year 2000 they spent over one-hundred and ten billion dollars, more than on higher education, personal computers, or new cars (3). The reality of fast food is regarding the spreading and feeding of illness and disease; as well as the inhumane treatment of animals through modern meat farming practices. Our society imagines images of happy animals living on farms where the cows graze in lush green fields and the chickens run around as they please. This vision of free-roaming animals living out their days in sunny fields is very far from the reality. A majority of the animals that are raised for food live miserable lives in dark and overcrowded facilities. These facilities are commonly called "factory farms"(Maguire 5).
Around the world, America is commonly associated with and recognized for being a nation of consumption and over consumption. Amongst America’s biggest imports and exports, the agriculture lands a spot in the top twenty industries of the nation. In addition, America is also notorious for having the sentiment regarding food as being the bigger it is the better it is. These factors, especially the latter, are frequently mentioned in Ozeki’s novel and eventually play as a considerable influencer in the plot. These consequences are especially true when the story’s own heroine discovers the impact that the meat industry has had on her own body. The novel begins with Jane, a young female film director and documentarian who receives a job offer working

Everything has an origin, a time and a place of its beginning. A lot of things have happened over the course of two millennia’s. The origin of Italian cuisine dates back centuries and over time is has evolved due to political and social changes within Italy and Europe. During the time the Roman Empire controlled many territories and provinces. Italy was among theses territories, and during which time its people generated one of the greatest cuisines in the world. Each territory and providence displayed their individually with their own unique way of cooking. (Steendahl, Par.3). Every town has a distinctive way of making sausage, special kinds of cheese and wine, and a local type of bread. Even if one were to ask around just one town or providence how to make tomato sauce. Variations within the methods and ingredients will be the answers. (Volpi, ...
Italian food began about 13,000 years ago and became recognized when “the Etruscans, Greeks, and Romans moved into the Italian peninsula around 1,000 BCE” (Italian Food History). By about 400 BCE the Romans had taken control of this diverse area. During this period, Italian cuisine consisted of barley or wheat that would be cooked into a type of porridge and enriched with wild greens, root vegetables, fruit or, for a really big celebration, honey. The boarders of the Roman Empire provided spices like cumin, sesame, coriander, oregano, olive oil and saffron to those who could afford it. “After conquering Macedonia around 200 BCE, the returning standard bearers brought commercial baking to the city of Romulus and Remus enriching the history of Italian food and making bread the staple of the Roman welfare system called the Annona” (Italian Food History). Even with such diversity, the people of Italy were quite poor and had to rely on locally available foods to create their recipes. This is why many Italian dishes, including today, are based on simple ingredients like cheese, eggplant, olives, and olive oil....
