Modes of Discourse

1. It was the last week of November, the day was Thursday. It was Thanksgiving, the day of amazing food. I woke up to the smell of a 25 pound turkey already in the roaster for over two hours. I waited for six torturous hours for my favorite meal of the year; I wanted to sneak in and grab some, but, I waited knowing it would be better in the end. I waited and waited until finally i heard the call for dinner. Turkey, Gravy, Mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkin pie, and all of my favorites sat at the table. We waited for everyone to sit down, said a prayer, and started to dig in. 40 minutes later we all laid around with our bellies full of good food and fell to sleep.

2. There are many different kinds of food: there is vegetables, fruits, meats, grain, dairy, fats and oils. Although most of these are pretty straight forward, there are some kinds of food that a lot of people have no idea which category they are in. Tomatoes are a vegetable/fruit that nobody really knows what it is.

3.food is any substance that can be metabolized by and animal to give energy and build tissue. "The Food" is the first single by rapper Common released on his sixth album Be. Food could be anything on earth, and is connected to a huge energy chain; sun gives plants food, animals eat plants, we eat animals, we die and our body goes into ground and gives nutrients to the ground where plants can grow, and the cycle continues.

4. 50% of U.S pizzas are sold with pepperoni on them.Bananas aren't fruit! They are a type of herb.Canola oil is actually rapeseed oil but the name was changed for marketing reasons!Heineken beer is designed to 'foam' for exactly five minutes.In Spain, it is common to pour chocolate milk on cereal for breakfast.Pretzels were originally invented for Christian Lent.Strawberries have more vitamin c than oranges.To burn off one plain M&M candy, you need to walk the full length of a football field.A company in Taiwan makes dinnerware out of wheat, so you can eat your plate!Chewing on gum while cutting onions can help a person from producing tears.It takes 100 pounds of rain water to produce a single pound of food from the earth.The average American/Canadian will eat about 11.9 pounds of cereal per year!A coffee tree yields about one pound of coffee in a year.
It takes about a week to make a jelly bean.Coca-Cola was the first soft drink to be consumed in outer space. Grapes explode when you put them in the microwave. A pound of potato chips costs 200 times more than a pound of potatoes.Coconuts kill more people in the world than sharks do; Approximately 150 people are killed each year by coconuts.It takes up to four hours to hard boil an ostrich egg.Nachos is the food most craved by pregnant women.15 million gallons of wine were destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

5. Hot Juicy steak siting right in front of you. You dive in and devour the scrumptious food. You feel the cold, sweet, wet coca-cola running down you throat, refreshing you as it reaches your stomach. The dry, grainy, bread was tough to swallow because of its sourness. The m+m's were deliciously sweet, and made me very happy when I poured them onto the freezing cold, chocolate-chip, cookie dough ice cream mixed with cookies and cream ice cream.

6. Although some people think energy the same thing as food they are different. Food can give you energy, but energy isn't always food. For example, sleeping gives you energy but you cannot eat sleep, you can enjoy it, but not eat. Energy is in everything and can be transfered. Much like food transferring energy to our bodies, but, we cannot eat all things that have energy. We could not eat metal, and all those things nobody would ever eat that have energy.

7. Food is something that fuels our minds and helps us succeed in the world. Food is something that is a basic need, everyone wants it. Food is how we are able to get our pets to do what we want them to. Food can also be "evil" some people are against eating certain types of food, vegans can not eat anything that is made, or comes from an animal. Vegetarians can only eat foods that do not include meat.

8. I think food is good for you and your body, and I believe that people should be required to eat as a normal person, by having no food restriction or your diet. For example: you can eat whatever you want there is no requirements. I think this could possibly make people healthier by opening up all types of foods that your body needs nutrients from and will make you more healthy.
