Behind the Bacon Burger
The phrase ignorance is bliss would perfectly caption food consumerism in America. For too long consumers have turned a blind eye to how food is produced and the workers who process it. Most consumers in America believe the threats of this way of food processing has no direct impact to them. However, it’s not only the moral aspect consumers should look at but also the disease's that come with it. Sanitation, harmful additives, and inhumane treatment of both the animals and workers should be of great concern to consumers around the world.

Family Views
Growing up with divorced parents can cause some gaps in how things were between your parents. One parent says they tried to be there while the other, which is usually the one with sole custody, claims otherwise. When you have siblings that come from each parents' new relationships you start to feel pushed out and alone. Add to that the ten year age gap between the siblings and yourself and you start to have vastly different views on how each parent was. For instance, on parent may have barely been in your life for one reason or another and while you and your parent know this to be fact, the sibling may see it differently. This difference in views can often lead to conflict in that the child of that distant parent may feel offended especially if that parent was amazing to their child.

Dad of a Five-Year-Old
The life of a father to a five-year-old little diva is a lot more complex than you’d imagine, and I assume it’s only going to get more interesting. From the moment you first see your daughter being born, you just know she going to be daddy’s sweet little angel forever. This eventually fades and life comes quickly to burst your little bubble. The sweet, innocent, and loving phase last about as long as the flavor in chewing gum.

How Free Are You?
The real issues with life in America aren't as cut and dry as most would have you believe; however, it's also not as complicated as others who lead you to believe. In America right now, the majority of the population lives either under or right on the poverty line. Many would ask why that is, and the very basic answer would be, our government. Reading on, you'll see a very compelling argument on the corruption and over powering control of the United States government.

Struggles of Being a New Dad
For a woman becoming a mom is a gradual thing because of the carrying of the baby. However, for a man, it's a bit more sudden in terms of the day you fully become a dad. It's almost as if you went from driving a Pinto to a Ferrari in 12 hours, except the Ferrari has a manual that is written in German. Especially when you come from a home that either has no father figure or a terrible one, so what does a man do to prepare for the day his life both ends and starts?

Starting over at 28
Starting over at 28 There comes a point in everyone's life when you tend to see the things in your life you should have completed. For some it's college and others it's a career or family, but for me it was all of those things. I had stopped and looked at my life and realized that I was at the end of the road I had started down and needed to change direction.
