Shapiro talks about his time in the kitchen from when he was a young trainee through to his maturity. Shapiro may be trying to get his point across to food eaters everywhere. While, Berry attempts to encourage people to improve the way they eat by giving them suggestions on what to do, Shapiro inspires to alleviate the misconceptions about food and food preparation, which goes further, in the long run, to convince people about the choices they make about food consumption. The writer avoids any errors of fact and any misinterpretation or misrepresentation of any facts.
“Perhaps, Americans have moved from a print-based culture to an aural/visual one, preferring electronic media for information, distraction, and entertainment” (Media and Popular Culture, 426). In the past few years social media has been a staple to the everyday life of our society. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and Tumblr have become the most used websites and apps used every day. Every site is different and every site has its similarities, but there are a few elements that make them better than the other websites. There are always back and forth battles from users claiming one site is better than the other. Two websites always being compared are Tumblr and Twitter. Both sites offer a wide variety of different things to do while on their site, but they also offer some of the same qualities.

In Michael Pollan’s “The End of Cooking” shares the message of what we are losing something important in this day and age because of all our pre-made and processed foods. This can be compared with Kothari’s “If You Are What You Eat, What Am I?” and her argument that food is part of one’s own identity. By using the examples from these two texts you can analyze the state of food and culture in the United States today. All of the processed and pre-made foods are causing people all across America to lose their sense of Culture. We no longer know what it’s like to make one of our cultures specialty dishes from scratch which can help people identify with their culture. This process helped newer generations see what it was like for those before them to cook on a daily basis and could help them identify your sense of culture.
Food is the essential vitality of life and the essence of survival. It nourishes one’s physical body to enable pursuit of passion. However, in overwhelming aspects of American society, food is viewed as an enemy. It is seen as the root cause of obesity which carries heavy condemnations of ugliness and weakness. Countless people have become obsessed with food as a means of exerting strength, displaying will-power, and achieving alleged beauty. The way society views nutrition has become misconstrued and disordered, resulting in unhealthy relationships with food, and thus emotional and physical harm. The most effective way to change society’s relationship with food is to target the presentation, practices, content, and intentions of nutrition

Every day we meet a lot of people have seen their behavior, listen to what they say, think about them, try to understand them. We feel that we not only see what color eyes and hair of a person, tall or not, thin or full, but also sad to him or fun, smart or stupid it, solid or not and so on. Over the past decade, social media has seen growth to the point where it is reflects in our daily lives and even the lives of those who choose not to use it. Anywhere we go online, there are always buttons to click so that you can share something on Facebook or pin it to your Pinterest account.
