   A dominate discourse is believing in what a large group believes in for example there is a dominate discourse against the use of drugs. on site D this was one of my favorite one because its saying people today believe in anything a large population, it like if we jump I'll jump because there doing it because everyone thinks its cool, but  you should create you own opinion and have your own idea. For example the people around me listen to hip-hop/ rap music and we see it as poetic and it let's artist releases his talent, so most teenagers view our music is the best to listen to so we have a dominate discourse on hip hop music, but instead we should listen all kinds of music because you need a lot of talent to create music we should accept it, because rapper use other types of music so they can sample it and use it in there own beat. to relate to what we are talking about in class there is a dominate discourse that if you eat the wrong type of food it leads to an unhealthy diet and can cause obesity and other conditions. reading of the articles about food, Americans don't really care about there diet, in the article it mentions how the nation thinks about there diet. "The nation has long had a complicated relationship with vegetables. People know that vegetables can improve health. But they’re a lot of work. In refrigerators all over the country, produce often dies a slow, limp death because life becomes too busy."(By KIM SEVERSON Published: September 24, 2010,Told to Eat Its Vegetables, America Orders Fries) i think that its this reason and because America is so commercialized that its hard for children to make the right choice if they are filled with cartoon characters that have unhealthy food next to them.

my family eats more responsible then me i just whatever is in front of me. my family watches there weight and sees if they gained or lost any weight. We don't eat together we all eat at different times and different places. my mom eats the least out of the whole family she loves to eat vegetables and rice, and if eats out its never MacDonald's she chooses to eat a sandwich or a salad, my sister is sort of the same way but she eats all kinds of food but she still watches her weight. my mother eats like that because she thinks if she eats less there is more food for us but its doesn't make any senses because me and my sister are never home. when i go back to japan the food is different the food is smaller and it taste different then the food in America. we use chop sticks in japan because it can cut food and you can pick up what your eating all with one utensils my grandmother is trying to live longer so she eats whatever the doctor tells her to eat.I people in America eat a lot compared to other Nations around the word. since we are the fattest country in the world we should watch they way we eat and exercise more regularly. My grandmother ate even less when she was little because she was alive in japan during world war 2, she told me she used to pick up mixed green along the roads where she walked around and boiled it in soup, but she grew up she got more money and she eat more meat and walked less because she has a car. my grandmother isn't fat but she is weak because of the lack of walking she did when she was younger. my grandmother and my mother learned how important food was because they lived in the country side of japan and they didn't have that much food. me and my sister is different we both just eat and leave left over out in the open or just throw the food away in the trash so we think more differently about food then the older generation. I think we don't appreciate food because it was always there in front of us ever since we were born. the older generations had to fight and work for there food and the government didn't really help as much as they do now.

we don't eat together so we all eat differently in my family we don't know what each other favorite foods are. but what usually eat at home is turkey burgers and hot dogs and i sometimes make pasta when there are the right ingredients inside my fridge.

The green market is more healthy because it's natural and fresh. The fast food 
make the product that they sell taste good instead of naturally tasting good. 
The fast food get more money because the food is already prepared for you, but 
the green market you would need to cook it yourself. This shows that most 
Americans are to lazy to make a better choice to cook natural food. But most 
people are are sometimes to busy to cook so they go to fast food. Most fast food 
locations are near a popular places where maybe a schools are near by, hospitals 
college, business buildings, and malls. They know when they put it in those 
location they will get money. When I was little they only have the happy meal no 
salads, no smoothies, and no calories up on the menu. But now it's almost a 
different menu and a new look. But in my opinion I think they attack the 
children and the wall street people because they have a more serious look now 
then they did then, they toys and meals for children, now they sell lattès and smoothies. 

The people around me don't eat fast food as much but we still don't eat healthy, 

just because we don't eat fast food doesn't mean we are healthy.When we do go to a pax or a

 salad bar it's sometimes too expensive macdonalds is cheaper and comes with fries and a drink

 for a value meal so how can we say no that. most people approch food by how much they have in

 there pockets because we need money to buy food.i normally eat at home or eat at work

because it free, but if i were to eat outside it would be pizz or subways because there both 

affordable.

Food is an important part of all our lives, we wouldn't be able to survive and 
live without it . food  can bring  people together. When I try to get food I 
look for two things first is the price of the food and then the I look for the 
taste, I wish I could just but all the food in the world and just eat it. Food 
make every culture different because we can eat different food or even eat food 
differently. Like when I go back to japan we don't usually use forks and knives 
we use chopsticks everyday even when we eat toast we still use chopsticks I've 
even seen people eat pizza with chopsticks. In japan the food is prepared and 
taste different. In America a lot of people eat beef in japan mostly people eat 
Fish. Also when I eat in japan I'm used to the American size but japan doesn't 
have the same size as American food it's much smaller because Japanese people 
don't eat as much as Americans can eat. Idk really why Japanese eat less maybe 
because they find it more healthy. Food and love are the most scared things on 
earth but most people say money and love, but your not born to like money, as a 
child u didn't even know how important money was , but we knew how important 
food was if we didn't have it. People can survive without money because money is 
just an idea that people created to make better trades for goods. So in my 
opinion food is scared because it's in every culture it makes people who they 
are sometimes because they eat differently or they prepare food differently.
