Lorna Doone: A Short Story

316 Words2 Pages

“Lorna Doone, where have you been at all of my life?”, I asked myself after I tried one for the first time. I’d never even heard of these cookies until I saw my dad eating them one day, so I asked him could I try one. The moment I put that cookie into my mouth, chewed and swallowed it – I fell in love. It was the best cookie I had ever consumed; I was shocked to know that I hadn’t tried or seen it before. After observing the packaging of these cookies, I realized why I never noticed them. They looked like cookies my grandma would eat. The packaging is yellow, picnic table print, and green letters.

  • What You Eat Is Your Business By Radley Balko Analysis

    1610 Words  | 7 Pages

    The addictive food that is sold by supermarkets is made to appeal to the consumers’ taste and make them addicted to it. In Michael Moss’ “The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food,” he mentions that the potato chip is a snack that provides a feeling of pleasure as well as a rewarding sensation in the brain through its coating of salt and fat (490). Small details food companies put in the food make a difference in the taste, which tends to attract more consumers without them aware of how they are being addicted to the food. In food companies’ perspective, the engineering of food to add more flavor and attract more consumers has no issue since it is how companies make their profits. Stephen Sanger, head of General Mills and the Yoplait brand, was able to produce $500 million in revenue from a new dessert that originated from the yogurt since it maintains a nutritive image with consumers (Moss 475-476).

  • The Gastronomical Me Analysis

    515 Words  | 3 Pages

    What makes food and memory so complex is the inability to separate the two. Because of the social norms of Fisher’s childhood, she grew up with set family roles, little say in the household, and a “speak when spoken” to mentality. Ultimately, this structure helped pave the way for her idealogical breakthrough. As Fisher describes throughout her memoir, The Gastronomical Me, what makes food memories so complicated is not the taste of the food, rather the memories and the people with whom these meals are shared with. Through these mealtime experiences, Fisher develops her own philosophies, adopting a newer generation’s ideals regarding the power a meal holds and the people that participate.
