Waste
Waste is only eating the white meat on the chicken and leaving all the dark meat. You only want the white meat because it looks pretty and tastes delicious. The dark meat however, doesn't look that appetizing. Even though the dark parts are greyish-brown, there is not wrong with it. It's perfectly fine and probably tastes almost exactly the same. In fact, it probably has more flavor than the white meat. So instead of being able to get two meals out of a the chicken, you can only get one. All the dark meat, or so called "waste," is left behind to rot. Just because something isn't aesthetically pleasing, or not as good, doesn't mean it should be ignored or not used. This is waste in a sense. Save the dark meat!

This is great! I would have never even thought of comparing waste to food. Let alone meat. This is a perfect metaphor to describe the meaning of the word. Awesome work!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. I like how you picked a small topic to talk about and describe what you wanted to say and then took time at the end to connect it to the world and tap into how we view certain things based solely on looks.
ReplyDeleteI like that you use a random thing here to describe waste. I never would've thought of using chicken.
ReplyDeleteI loved this! i love how you use such a small topic, but you can really relate it to pretty much anything and it makes sense any way you use it.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THE DARK MEAT! its the best part, lol. anyway back to business, i love your comparison. thats something i never would have thought of but its like right in front of your face and totally applicable. niceeee.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a really good post. It's a great idea and I'm sure if this had been an essay rather than a short freewrite you could have come up with a lot more ways that this theory of waste applies to other things in life. Very good post, you picked something that everyone can relate to so it makes a lot of sense.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good example because of how specific and relatable it is. Everyone knows what white/dark meat looks like, so they are able to picture the waste created by only eating white meat. Instead of comparing waste to something general, you give the reader a specific point to anchor in on, which strengthens the argument.
