Martin's Food Inc. review

One day me and all my best friends from school were walking to Delancey st. We were talking and deciding what to eat that day.They decided pizza and i decided Burger King. They all told me "You nasty man you probably get e.coli you remember what they said on Food,Inc ." Then i told them im i dont realy care what that movie said.So they all still were trieing to convince me to buy pizza and i still didnt want any because we mostly eat that every single day after school. Then when we were in front of the pizza place one of my bestfriends came up to me and said "Yo Martin just buy pizza Burger King is to expensive."And I gave him the same answer and then he told me "You got to stop eating that ."So I went to Burger King,ordered a Woper Junior , sat down ,and thought to myself ''I dont think i'll ever stop eating fast food.''

Well in the begging of the Food Inc. the guy ate a burger well im type like him because I love the taste of burgers and fast food.Its like im already use too eating fast food.Its hard to stop for me because mostly i eat meat and barly and saled and vestables.I tried to start eaing healthy but the food is nasty but Food Inc. said vestables could have e.coli too so i'll just stick to my fast food meal and eat happy.

Food Inc Review

Chickens is something good but what they do to them is crazy. What I mean by that Is that food industries are killing the chickens . some of the chickens cant even walk right workers kick them and one day I was at Mc. Donald's and I was eating some chicken and I couldn't stop thinking about what If this was one of the chickens that got kicked or something. Also I felt like It was killing me because the chickens are not healthy enough. The food industries are feeding animals corn to grow faster and with more muscle on there body's. Also the chickens can't even walk because of there weight that they have on there body's. The chickens are not heathy enough to walk. Some of the chickens died because of there weight In there body's and that really got me thinking when I was eating that burger, Also I see a lot of those people who eat In Mc. Donald's and I felt like they are killing themselves by eating in Mc. Donald's almost everyday. Like this show name Family Guy his name Is Piter and he save a restaurant named Mc. Burger and he ate a lot of burger and he got parlous from some parts of Piter body I felt like that was going to happen to me or the people who eat them.

achievement gap

martin and I saw a paper about the achievement gap .We read that most Asians and white students were a higher percentage of them had a chance of being successful in life.And a high percentage of blacks and Hispanics students to be unsuccessful in life. One thing thats not right is that Asians students know a lot of math and other skills that American,Latinos,African American people. we Latinos have more chances of passing just like African American people.

Do You Think Some People Are Segragated ?

Hi this is Martin and Arison and we have a question to ask. Do you think some people are segregated ?
We saw a movie with our class and it is called Little Rock High School.This video showed us how this school is still segregated .One thing that they showed was black students on one side of a class room and white student's on the other side. after42 year of segregation now in the school they the first president African American.


This had us wondering why can't teachers put a program for students to talk and meet each other ? There where two things that bothered us in this movie . The first reason was that most of the African American students are in lower classes and three or four black students in the higher classes. The second reason was that white students get to ride there own car's and only the only African American student who is the president of the school. The third reason was that they take buses because they are afraid to walk to there houses because they might get robed on the way home by people in there own neighborhood.


In this film the white student's live in wealthy neighborhoods and African American students live in unhealthy neighborhoods. Also most of the African American people are in horrible reading levels there levels of passing are low.
