A familiar smell captures my attention; the noise all around me goes numb for a second. My eyes ferociously moving side to side, my nostrils opening up wide, looking for any sign to match the smell with the source. Around the corner there is a glowing yellowish light across the floor of a parking lot. My stomach begins to grumble. Walking towards the light the smell begins to fade away, almost as if it where fake in a way. Lights are reflecting from the outside lamps in the front, inside the lights of the restaurant and the big archers standing tall like a casino light with an M right on top of the jackpot.
As I open the door the familiar symptoms of the Archers appear, the janitor mopping the restaurant with a tired look on his face, very old man at least in his 60s. As I walk by the janitor he mumbles about something. I want a big Mac with the meal, she begins to type I gave her the cash. The people in the back begin to move around. By the time I turned around I had my coke and fries, the big Mac came 30 seconds later, never wondering where my food came from, I start to chew. Food taste great, as am walking away from the known and into the unknown the feeling of the archers stays with me even long after my next visit.

welcome to food ethics by peter
Hello welcome to my blog, my name is Peter, am posting this blog for my College class Research Paper about food ethics, me as a person I like to eat food, their is something special when a certain taste or craving is meet.
My eating habits are not the best, but I do like to cook food at home, it gives me a satisfaction of knowing how my food was prepared, I try to cook at home as often as I can, 4-5 times a week. I haven't gone shopping for food since I was a child, but everything in my refrigerator is organic.
The foods I eat at home are, rice, beans, oven roasted chicken, fried beef, green beans, and spinach, combined with mixed salads that contain fresh, carrots, lettuce, tomato, green peppers, and red peppers with a little balsamic vinegar. when am outside all bets are off am talking about ,cheeseburger's pizza, hot dogs, salads, battered fried chicken , if its eatable I will eat it.
My favorite food has to be grilled (anything) , there are many things a person can grill, I like to grill, red onions, chicken, steaks, ribs, potato's, and corn. I really love to grill things because it brings back a warm feeling I had as a kid were the whole family got together at someones house or at a park. the women would gossip about everyone and the kids go out and play and the men cook in the grill, when the food was ready no matter how far away I was I would be running towards the smoke of the grill. Sundays were a whole day long of eating, relaxing and just having a good time.
There is always that x factor when your eating your food, were did your food come from not just from the supermarket but what farm it came from. When we eat are food we don't really like to think about it because maybe the truth will make us sacred to take other bite of our delicious food. I want to believe that my food isn't mixed with manure or that no killer pesticide were added or that the animals had a good life while on earth and that they are not genetically modifying their DNA to make them bigger. I think our vegetables and fruits still some from fields but our meat comes from factory like buildings that contain hundreds of animals and they are killed and packaged.
Thank you for reading
