FOUR FINE FOODS by Branden Wang


You smell that aroma? It’s dinnertime! From bread to oranges, most food is healthy for everyone. But, out of all the foods in the world, my favorites include eggs, salmon, oranges, and broccoli.
        
What are the oval shaped things in a cake? Eggs. Eggs are 3D ovals with white or brown shells. The outside is a hard shell, but the inside is a soft yolk. With a taste of deliciousness, this number one protein producer provides everyone’s body with abundant protein, helping the body stay nice and strong. But, not eating eggs makes the body weak with no muscle. One won’t be able to walk short distances, like Cesar Chavez during his fasting. Eggs are the gas fueling the car.

Which fish has silver scales that glimmer in the sunlight? Salmon. This fish tastes soft and savory. Did you know this little guy has some “mad” cousins named tuna, sardines, and trout? They are “mad” because they are not as popular as salmon.** Also, since salmon has the ability to reproduce up to 7000 eggs, there will always be plentiful of salmon for generations and generations. If you eat salmon, you are consuming a lot of omega-3, which is good for your heart, cholesterol, and triglycerides. Without salmon and omega-3, the body will not function properly. Salmon is number 2 on my favorite food list.

Guess what is my third favorite food? The orange orange. Oranges are large spheres that are well, orange. These juicy fruits have a semi-solid skin with a soft, sweet, and sour inside. The taste of the orange will dance on your tongue like rain falling onto leaves, like paint dripping from a paint brush. Oranges supply you with vitamin D, which keeps the body nice and strong so you do not crinkle to dust like a flower in the cartoons. Stop vitamin D intake, and your bones will become frail and then break, leaving you in pain. Therefore, stick with oranges, the vitamin D pals.

Last, but not least, the great green tree - broccoli. The top of the broccoli is as wavy as a cattail, the bottom is as hard and stiff as a rock, and the color is as green as your face when you are on a roller coaster. Broccoli has every vitamin you can think about. Vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B7, B9, B12, C, D, K, iron, calcium, and riboflavin. Removing broccoli from your diet will not affect the body because it can rely on other foods for the same nutrients broccoli possess. But, why substitute broccoli when it provides so many vitamins at one eating?

Dinnertime! Eggs, broccoli, salmon, and oranges smack face down deliciously on the platters. Not a fan of today’s dinner? Just when you are about to say no, remember this essay. Then you will decide to accept your dinner and eat it. Wait up. I want you to do one more thing. Clear your platter!

B. I'm constantly amazed at the improvement of each one of your essay. This is your best piece so far. It was informational, entertaining and well written. Your made up reason for the "mad" cousins was a stroke of genius. Thank you for sharing your writing with me. Con Goo Goo.
