Descriptive writing #2

I opened the store on Sunday 11 am  and i didn't had the time to do  break fast (FYI i am manager in Pizza Hut). On my way to work my stomach was making weird sounds, i was thinking going to Macdonald but then they their breakfast hours are till 11 am and i would be late so i didn't take my chances. I don`t know for some reason i was craving for Angus Deluxe.That burger is mouth watering,the thick black angus meat pattie with combination of mayo, ketchup ,pickle,onion, lettuce all together inside the soft sesame bun is delicious. The whole time while working i also thought just to make a pizza and get over my hunger but that didn't happen due to football games it was so busy, didn't got the time to eat, plus thensmell of wings street oil and grease and the smell os pizzas killed my appetite  My shift finally ended at 6 pm and i was going back home suddenly my sister called for coffee from Macdonald"half and half" thats what she request....so i went to Macdonald but didn't had the intention of eating anything, but there it was on the big menu displayed Angus Deluxe and wasting no time more when the cashier said "next, how may i help you?"  my answer was simple "medium coffee half and half and an Angus Deluxe please to go." And while walking home i couldn't wait no more so i took my burger out and on the first bite it came to my mind Macdonald's motto "i am loving it" but in my case "i was missing it" ;)

Biphenol -A or BPA

Works Cited
"Bisphenol A (BPA)." U S Food and Drug Administration Home Page. Web. 20 Sept. 2010. <http://www.fda.gov/newsevents/publichealthfocus/ucm064437.htm>.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical that has been present in many hard plastic bottles and metal-based food and beverage cans since the 1960s.
Studies employing standardized toxicity tests have thus far supported the safety of current low levels of human exposure to BPA.  However, on the basis of results from recent studies using novel approaches to test for subtle effects, both the National Toxicology Program at the National Institutes of Health and FDA have some concern about the potential effects of BPA on the brain, behavior, and prostate gland in fetuses, infants, and young children.  In cooperation with the National Toxicology Program, FDA’s National Center for Toxicological Research is carrying out in-depth studies to answer key questions and clarify uncertainties about the risks of BPA.
In the interim:
    •    FDA is taking reasonable steps to reduce human exposure to BPA in the food supply.  These steps include:
    ◦    supporting the industry’s actions to stop producing BPA-containing baby bottles and infant feeding cups for the U.S. market;
    ◦    facilitating the development of alternatives to BPA for the linings of infant formula cans; and
    ◦    supporting efforts to replace BPA or minimize BPA levels in other food can linings.
    •    FDA is supporting a shift to a more robust regulatory framework for oversight of BPA.
    •    FDA is seeking further public comment and external input on the science surrounding BPA.
FDA is also supporting recommendations from the Department of Health and Human Services for infant feeding and food preparation to reduce exposure to BPA.
FDA is not recommending that families change the use of infant formula or foods, as the benefit of a stable source of good nutrition outweighs the potential risk from BPA exposure.

Welcome to My Blog

Hello Everyone,
                          My name is Shahbaz Khan and welcome to my blog. I am a student in Laguardia Community College and the purpose of creating this blog is due to my course "The Ethics of Food."
I live by my own and i don`t know how to cook properly, but i do know how to make egg, noodles and a bit of recipe i learned, but not a very  good cook ;) still good enough for me.
    
As i don`t cook that much at home i usually eat outside, but in my freezer you will always find egg, gallon of milk, bread, butter, mayo and of course jam :D. I mostly buy noodles,canned food and fruits depending on my mood. I love to eat and i don`t have trouble eating anything BUT staying in the limit of my religion, as i am a Muslim :).

             Since my childhood i love eating pizza and luckily i am working for pizza hut, and now i make my own way of pizza for me ;) . My specialty pizza for my family only is "tuna fish pizza" and my so named"ultimate egg pizza". I am working as a manager, so i know quite some information about the ingredient of food or  the source the food is coming from, which is a big help if anyone interested in knowing about it. 
                       
    Rather then  pizza i do love to  eat indian curry food as i am from Pakistan, spicy food attracts me alot.
