Kraft mac n' cheese
Everybody loves a good homemade meal. It allows one to relax, think, and obtain the pleasure of creating something delicious. I recently decided to prepare a meal as I was starting to feel hungry. I had purchased a meal early in the year at a grocery store in Elkhorn which would store easily and which would be easy to prepare. As I am a very poor college student I also had to purchase something costing less than $1 a unit. My search led me to Kraft Mac and Cheese. I prepared this meal in the basement of the Babcock House in 10 easy minutes while listening to some pretty awesome music. After preparation I ate the meal upstairs and watched some intense movies. I also consumed milk as a beverage as it strengthens my bones and is job security for a farmhand like myself. I fully enjoyed the meal and only had to add a little pepper for it to be delicious. Clean up was mildly irritating as the pan was filled with cheese which had crusted to the pan over time. 10 minutes of scrubbing was not fun at all, however it reminded me why McDonald's is a nice choice if one has little time to clean. After the meal I felt very full and ready to take on the next challenge in my day. After examining Mr. Pollen's novel I find that his claims are partially true. He has noticed that America has moved towards a fast food and quick preparation meals. A Americans have become short on time or have found better things to do, cooking has become a thing of the past. After eating my meal I have discovered that cooking can take a lot of time and effort. I have realized that I do not like cooking and making this meal has not changed my opinion at all. I much prefer purchasing cheap food and eating it, although I know it isn't at healthy I still prefer the convenience. After looking at several sites describing the health effects of fast food, I decided to pick one which relates to the female readers. Overall I enjoyed my meal, but I did not like the labor.
