The year was 2012, Galen was 10 years old, and his family was on a road trip to Colorado. They had been driving for many hours and decided to stop at a truck stop. Galen and his brother, Ross, went to the food court to decide where they were going to eat. None of the food really appealed to Galen, but then Ross spotted a Chick Fil A, the famous chicken fast-food restaurant, Galen was enraptured.
Galen wasn’t sure, he had never eaten at a Chick Fil A before. Was it good? Was it bad? All these questions in his head, Galen didn’t even know what to order. His brother, Ross, was waiting impatiently for him to choose, and finally said, “just get the chicken sandwich”. Galen nodded, what else was he supposed to do, he saw they had other items, but

Galen had forgotten of his Chick Fil A experience 3 years ago, so he again didn’t know what to expect. But luckily, Galen wasn’t as much of an idiot now, so he knew what to order this time. Galen ordered the chicken nuggets, with waffle fries and lemonade, and the moment he tasted that meal, he was in love.
Nothing had ever tasted so good, no fast food restaurant had proved better than this meal, and at that moment, Galen declared Chick Fil A his new favorite fast food restaurant, steak n shake coming in second. For the next few years of his life, and still currently as he lives, Galen gets Chick Fil A every chance he can get, but sadly, that isn’t very often.
Up until 2 weeks ago, the memory of his actual first Chick Fil A tasting was still lost somewhere, fading away in his head, almost lost completely. But something triggered the memory, Galen still doesn’t know how or why, but he suddenly remembers that time, that time when things were better, when Galen never had to try on tests, or work hard on homework, that time, when Galen wasn’t in 8th grade, that time, when Galen tried Chick Fil

The quality of the nuggets at chick-fil-a is better than these other restaurants. Personally even when it comes down to the service received , chick-fil-a always supersedes the others. According to Odyssey , Chick-fil-A employees are some of the nicest people who will ever serve you. They always greet you and make sure you're taken care of. They're always willing to take your trash, refill your drinks, and have a conversation with you. They are quick with giving you your food and always make sure you have everything you need to thoroughly enjoy your meal. They stand out compared to other fast food employees and seem to be having the time of their lives while working (2017). Chick-fil-a has the best nuggets to me because of their dipping sauces as well. Even though chick-fil-a has a blast of flavor , dipping sauces just tops it off. (Business Insider ,

The film, Super Size Me, focuses on high-marketing fast food as the cause for American health decline and the increase of obesity. Morgan Spurlock, renowned writer and director, challenges himself to a one-month fast food, high-fat diet; evaluating the dangers of fast food and the potential health risks in society (“About Morgan” 1). Throughout his journey, Spurlock concentrates on informing American audiences about the difficulty of such eating habits and the toll the diet has on his body. He chooses to eat a planned schedule of only McDonald’s food for every meal, ‘super sizing’ the order if asked, consuming all items offered on McDonald’s menus, ingesting only McDonald products, and walking the average amount of a typical U.S citizen (“Super Size Me: Plot Summary” 1). Although influential, Super Size Me uses Logos, images, and Ethos to advise audiences to shy away from fast food companies and their greedy employers, further suggesting that fast food acts as a primary cause for America’s poor health rates.
Food is a major part of everyone’s everyday life. It’s hard to imagine life without the chocolate cake on your fingers or a carne asada taco in your mouth. Enjoying delicious desserts and fast food seem extremely magnificent to eat and spend money buying them. Although, there have been many controversies in the United States on how it’s the largest country with the most obesity regarding children, which affects their health, many people are still going throughout their day snacking. Many people in America are having full course meals with thousands of calories in one sitting not knowing the short term or long term side effects that are going to take a huge toll on their lives. Food is delicious, but it comes with a secret behind the savoriness/sweetness.
