Single Nutrition

This is finals week. I have a Nutrition class to study for. The final falls on this Thursday at 8:30pm. Now that you have that background information I can go on with the rest of my narration. Personal Nutrition, fourth edition by Marie A. Boyle sits on the couch next to me. The corner rests neatly between the back of the couch and my back pocket. I can feel the corner digging a little into my butt. I was thinking of moving it away, but then I thought that if it sits there jabbing me it will probably keep me motivated to finish this.
I just finished reading the last chapter that I have to study for. Food Safety and the Global Food Supply. Chapter 11. Let's see so if I go by the exercise I need to answer a few questions about this work.
What I remember about reading this work first was the pompousness of the title. And all through the chapter I could not stop thinking about that title. It still is with me. Just now when I was writing the title in the paragraph before, I was still struck by the pompous nature of it.
My response to the work has not changed much. I have read pretty much all the chapters the same way. In that oh-god-I-have-to-remember-this-stuff-I-hope-it-is-fun-and-not-boring. At least I had the different name of the chapter to amuse me this time.
How has this made me see the world differently? Well it made me a little frightened of fast food places, like when I watch one of those 20/20 undercover reports on a restaurant. I learned about how to store beans in the refrigerator. So I guess from a bean storage perspective it did change the way I see the world.
And as for what it looked like. Well take your normal 80 dollar book and that is exactly what mine looks like. Big. Overpriced. Author's name the same size as the title. Oh this book has an ok cover. When you think nutrition...you think oranges. Well I do anyway. On the cover there are oranges on a plate, a purple plate. Royal, dont you think?
All right that is the end of the narration to one work that I have read. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. With minimal emotional investment. Farewell.
