3rd post for LSC 100

The other day I made myself a roast beef sandwich. The first thing I did was take my bun and cut in open. Next, I placed the roast beef on the bread and I even put some of the broth from the meat on the bread to soak in. Next, I put a mixture of cooked onions and mushrooms on top of the roast beef. Finally, I finished off the preparation of the sandwich with some Heinz 57 special sauce, just to add a little bit of spice to it. I must admit I was quite proud of myself after I finished eating the sandwich because it was so delicious. I normally don’t prepare meals for myself so it was kind of a personal achievement for me.
After reading pages 54 and 55 in Michael Pollan’s book I feel that I agree with his claims that Americans seemed to have accepted low fat foods just because they were something new and exciting. The companies selling these products sold them on the lines of that they are healthier for the human body, but this isn’t necessarily the case.
The meal that I prepared really had no effect on my opinion. The bread was wheat and the beef was of a high quality. My vegetables were boiled so there were no preservatives or fake butter products used in that. The only thing would be the Heinz 57 sauce. I really have no idea what they put into that so that would be the only possible low fat food; however, I don’t think that Heinz is too terribly worried about that in their sauces just because it says right on the bottle all the foods that it goes well with. Most of the foods listed aren’t very healthy in the first place.
