Swifts proposal reflection

    I found the "Modest Proposal" to be disgusting because of the fact that he said that people from Ireland ate their children, or would have to resort to doing so because of the population and the lack of food.  I don't care how hungry you are, eating your own flesh and blood is a terrible thought.   Especially for women, they have to carry the child in their womb for nine months, go through child labor, and look at the nasty stretch marks for the rest of their lives..it would seem to be a waste just to eat the child when you could watch it grow into something great. If we were raised to believe that this way of life is okay, then maybe it would be different, but we weren't so it's just not right.  I mean really, could you eat a cute little kid?

beginning

My name is Jadie Ellis and I'm from Norwalk, Iowa.  I have an open major, but plan to take classes in order to get into the school of dentistry at the University of Iowa.

I'm excited to begin this class because I like to learn about health and exersize and along with learning about such topics, comes food.  I love to eat, like every other person, but I know that there are always healthy alternatives to foods.  I also try to be as active as possible.  I was a cheerleader in highschool and wouldn't consider myself the most athletic person around but I always had gym memberships and used them atleast three times a week.  So far at Iowa State University, the food has been pretty good. You have to watch what you eat, like every other place.  One thing I will say is I can't complaing about the food considering the highschool cafeteria food was pretty questionable..
