hw 5 discourse

to me the word discourse means a discussion in which power is involved and so is arguing. the discourse example i would use would be eating unhealthy foods. the discourse in that is that there are debates and arguments of what is good for you and what isnt. When i think about it though, anything can be fast food. Fast food is everything that we can buy within a few minutes and consume, it really doesnt matter what kind of food. Everything to me is fast food, it just depends on if the food is unhealthy or has high amounts if a certain thing i them that isnt healthy.I read the article about fostering fat. it says that we are basically too consumed with other obstacles in our lives, that we don't have the time to make ourselves healthier. I really think that this topic is pretty complicated. It goes deeper than just our health. getting healthy means that people take time out of their days, which means we do our own thing, and sort of diss "The Man" a.k.a the government. the government, or more likely the FDA doesnt really want you to be healthy, because then we dont consume in fast food corporations which means theuy lose money therefore concluding to the government losing money. Its all one chain reaction, but then again the government still has us hooked and so do all these other corprations with what they produce. Food is a poision leaving us vulnerable to diseases and an early death. We cannot live natural happy lives because there are all these outside forces pressuring us to live within the American norms that we all go by. food is the poision that has us all by the hand and its not letting go anytime soon.
