My primary sources








One primary source i chose is the cover of the book fast food nation. One reason I chose this is it was a book we read in high school and i found it very interesting. The cover is pretty simplistic in nature. Which is the opposite of what i thought since it is about showing how corrupt fast food is. The cover also looks nice and happy, which is the way fast food presents its self.


For my other primary source i chose the song grapefruit diet by weird al I
I chose this song because of the lyrics. The song is pretty recent and talks about how a guy is
fat and now has to go on a diet consisting of grapefruits. weird al is making fun of the band wagon of all the diets that america was going on in the last few years. I really like these 2 sources and hope everyone finds them justas enjoyable as i have.

Introduction

Hello everyone im Dan Briem. I guess one of my favorite meals would be fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and corn. I really like this food because it tastes good. Most likely from all the butter, grease, and oil used to cook these foods. I first encountered this food probably at my grand parents house. Grandpa does his own fried chicken and grandma would make the mashed potatoes from scratch . I guess sometimes this meal can get messy which could apply to me since im sometimes an unorganized person. But overall the meal is good which means asa whole im a good person.
