The childhood snack that will be analyzed is Fruit Gushers. The following are the five ingredients in this snack: Red 40 (Allura Red), partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, carrageenan, corn syrup, and monoglyceride.

It is clear to many people that the combined eating habits of a majority of Americans are lacking in better judgement. The overall health of the country has become, and continues to be, a deep issue in which people are beginning to take a stand against. In Mark Bittmans ' article "Bad food? Tax it, and subsidize vegetables," he makes the argument that it is the governments duty to the people to look out for their well-being by taxing "bad food," such as chips, sodas and other fatty foods, and with the extra money generated, create a program that benefits the American diet.

Taking handouts or under the deal trades were widely regarded as the vilest or morally wrong thing to do at the time, even as those around you starved to death.
Alone Together In the early 1950s the concept of a family meal had assigned tasks to each family member, trained children in proper dining-room etiquette, and established a family hierarchy that has been forgotten in this synonymous computer age.

Although my family, like many others have recently has not treated this as a sacred event, or family conference to discuss and understand each other’s problems together privately, I still believe that people should be engaged in these un-interrupted moments. In different cultures, nationalities and religions the family meal in comparison towards my own presently run parallel.
