Keep your kids and your pets outside the kitchen. You all know that kids and pets are very playful and can be quite a distraction as you work in the kitchen. If they move around in the kitchen too much, there might be accidents. Your kids and pets will not be the only ones harmed, but also yourself. Say, you’re heating up a frying pan with oil, your kid might reach out for it, pull the pan down, burn himself and spill the hot oil not only to himself but yourself as you try to stop the pan from completely spilling out. Same goes for your pet that might jump over the cooking counter and bump the hot pan. To keep your kids away from the kitchen, keep them busy with other things in their playroom and tell them nicely that they are not allowed to step into the kitchen to keep them safe. As for your pets, bring them to your porch so that they can play outside. Sharpen your knives and learn how to handle them properly. Some people believe that too sharp knives are the number one cause of knife cuts so they tend not to sharpen their knives. However, the contrary is that dull knives cause more knife cut accidents than sharp
The definition of homemade has changed drastically throughout time. Rachel Jones recognizes this in her article “Homemade is the New Organic,” published in 2013 by The Atlantic. It is in this article that she explains how media nowadays has raised expectations on home cooking.

Teenage workers are more likely to be untrained, and for this reason the job becomes more dangerous because the workers don’t know what they’re doing and could injure themselves by doing the wrong thing. Schlosser states, “The most common workplace injuries at fast food restaurants are slips, falls, strains, and burns” (Schlosser 83). While talking about the likelihood of injuries happening while working in a fast food restaurant, Schlosser mentions that armed robberies are more likely now in fast food restaurants than banks or even convenience stores (Schlosser 83). Although most of the robberies do not end with death, the chances of a violent crime in a fast food restaurant are high. Schlosser uses pathos because we view teenagers as innocent and as still being children, so we don’t want them to be in any danger. We feel sympathy for them because it’s unfair to have to work knowing that they are risking their safety. While the industries try to take action by “spending millions on new security measures,” the chances of a robbery happening are still
