In the article Unhappy Meals, Michael Pollan strongly believes that it is possible for an individual to live a healthier and better lifestyle through several tactics that he proposes in his article. However, Pollan 's measures are not effective in helping mothers and children in the lower socioeconomic status but rather helps better the health of those with high socioeconomic statuses.

The professors who composed Psychological Science explain that, “For [Sigmund] Freud, the powerful forces that drive behavior were often in conflict. A key aspect of his thinking was that we are typically unaware of those forces or their conflicts” (Gazzinga et al. 570). To Freud, conflicts in the mind consisted of the never ending battle between the ego, id, and superego. The “id” is the mechanism that drives humans to seek pleasure and avoid pain. The superego is a person’s conscience and morality principle. The “ego” is the mediator between the superego and id. In fact, Freud developed a theory based on analyzing these unconscious struggles which he called the psychoanalytic, sometimes psychodynamic, theory. He recorded peoples’ words and actions to describe their unconscious desires, wishes, fears, and hidden memories. The psychoanalytic theory was later translated into literature as a kind of criticism. This criticism can be applied to any type of literature including dramas. The drama “Naked Lunch” by Michael Hollinger is a good representative of the dramas in which the reader can perceive the unconscious conflicts between the characters through the use of dialogue and non-verbal cues. The reader senses the desires, fears, thoughts, and underlying mechanisms at work behind the conversation and in turn is able to come to a greater understanding of how a person’s word and non-verbal actions describe the person’s subconscious mind.
Gluttony is described as an “excess in eating and drinking” according to American Heritage Dictionary; the Oxford English Dictionary adds that the word may also refer to an excessive desire for food and drink and by a natural extension to many kinds of overindulgence. The story which talks about gluttony is from the book Barbecued Husbands which is a collection of wonderful stories from the Macurap. Barbecued Husbands have many similarities with Greek literature in terms of, myths, fairytales, fables or even some people consider these stories will come as no surprise. Indeed, one of humanity’s shared characteristics is that, wherever it is, it contrives similar narratives as a means to explain and explore its existential predicament. Here heads move of their own desire as in Akarendek, the flying head, or the ravenous wife, shape-shifting is the norm, the inanimate moves and the corporeal and spiritual merge. The woman in Barbecued Husbands had greed of gluttony and for this desire of food she destroys her life and her family, a microcosm of the community. The works like Barbecued Husbands and Dante’s Inferno are often seen as cautionary tales and they expose human weaknesses and strengths, among

With education, training and experiences according to the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics chefs must have a “High school diploma or equivalent” (“Chefs and Head Cook”) plus chefs can read into how “Others receive training at a community college, technical school, culinary arts school, or 4-year college.” (“Chefs and Head Cook”) The most common is having “5 years or more” training (“Chefs and Head Cook”), but they can also have “None” experience (“Chefs and Head Cooks”). Also, “A small number learn through apprenticeship programs or in the Armed Forces.’ (“Chefs and Head Cooks”) This gives chefs many options on how to get into the culinary force with any amount of training. But, as it can be seen, the education needed chefs have to take into account is the work environment. According to the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics work environments can be anything from “...restaurants, private households, and other establishments where food is served.They often work early mornings, late evenings, weekends, and holidays. The work can be hectic and fast paced.” (“Chefs and Head cooks”) The salary and benefits of being a chef, according to the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics is as high as “$43,180 per year $20.76 per hour” (“Chefs and Head Cook”)
Most chefs’ or home cooks finish high school in the hope of getting in to a culinary institute where it is somewhat competitive to get in. Some might attend a community college which can also be competitive. Some without the finance or time for school, but who still have the passion for cooking, get their G.E.D. and try for an apprenticeship. In hope to gain quicker experience, they try to learn everything they can from their mentor on the job, instead of college, and could become rather successful.
working environment of the individual will dictate how they wish to apply the skill. Being a chef can lead to other occupations as well, some which are not directly related to the foodservice industry. Teaching the skills of a culinarian, newspaper columnist or journalist critic. There are many possibilities to a professional chef outside a kitchen environment, learning by contact with other professionals is what professionalism is all about.
