There were all manner of food with nameplates arranged on the table together with plates, colas, plastic cups and paper napkins. Rose grinned at her students.

“We’re going to be discussing about food. Specifically, Fast food. Brief history for you lot, Fast food is a type of ready to eat food typically found in, you guessed it – Fast food restaurants. Developed in the early 1900s and developed to perfection for our current consumer society.

“We begin with drinks, one of the most popular drinks in this day and age are colas, or soft drinks, these are sweetened carbonated drinks made with caffeine. Caffeine is, can be found in coffeebeans or leaves, it's a stimulant for your brain, reason why coffee's sweet life blood for any person wanting to be or stay awake for a long, long time. Coffee's also turned into something everyone can share and turn into some sort of social event, hence the popularity of coffeehouses or cafes even in tropical countries."

Rose pointed to the one opened box of pizza and a whole basket of burgers. “Pizzas -- originated in Italy and really are fantastic things to eat for any occasion, although, don’t try eating it while you’re in Zero gravity, it’ll just be messy. Hamburgers or burgers is a sandwich with meat patty, lettuce tomatoes, cheese and all sorts of lovely garnishes. Very greasy, bad for the health if consumed too much, much like anything in life.

“Hotdogs are also wonderful and better consumed with sandwiches garnished with relish, mayonnaise and ketchup.” Rose pointed out each garnish on the table then paused before a dish with fries and fried fish. “And this, folks are my favorite – Fish and chips. Chips, or as Americans call it, French Fries. Perfect food, in my opinion for anything that ails. But, it is nothing, compared to ice cream. " Rose took a scoop of strawberry ice cream and placed it in her cup. "Ice creams are frozen dairy, eaten as dessert. Frozen desserts have actually been around for 4,000 years but, it was the Chinese who invented ice cream."

She grinned and took a spoonful of ice cream and ate it. "Don't you just love the Chinese? Invented paper, fireworks and tea!" Rose placed her ice cream cup on the table and picked up a box of chocolate bars and passed each student one bar, "Another yummy treat to end all yummy treats are chocolates, made of cocoa beans and pressed into these delightful bars. Chocolate, is also, gentlemen, perfect gifts for women during Valentines' day, although if that's the only gift you'd be giving your significant other, I would not be surprised if they'd be cross with you."

Rose looked at her students. “I want you lot to pair-up, get some food of your liking and discuss your food with your partner. If you like it, if you don’t… etcetera, all I ask is for you lot to enjoy.

All these food are almost all eaten with your hands, so best wash your hands before you get any of these delectable foods. Washing your hands should always go without saying but reminders are always good. Wash rooms two doors from here take a left, quick right and another left that’s where you'll find it."

Rose raised her eyebrows. "Well, you do need a hair cut."

"I like my hair," Edward sounded affronted.

"You do also look like you like eating them too." Rose said gesturing to Ed's bangs.

"Well, it's not my fault the stupid things don't seem to understand how to grow out," Edward griped. Of course, if they grew out then he'd have hair like his father and OH GOD don't go there. Edward tugged at his bangs and frowned. A lot. "But I've always had bangs..."

"They also say change is good, could try and do without them for once."

Edward thought about this for a moment, then shrugged. "Maybe ... when I achieve what I set out to do. I haven't really cut my hair since .. the accident, and I don't plan to until I set things right." He nodded sharply. "If I live through that...who knows?"

That sounds ominous. "Well, something to look forward to, isn't it?" she nodded at the cup, "There's more of that on the table in case you need it to stop choking. Honestly, the way your eating, it's like you've never seen food before."

"Al says that a lot too," Edward said. "I know I can eat my body weight in pork rinds."

Rose sighed. "Well, you're young, you've a lot of energy to burn. Just becareful when you reach the thirties. I'm not so sure your metabolism would be as active with your height."

"You know, I do have an unusually high metabolism," Edward speculated. He hadn't really thought about it before, even with his amount of physical exertion per day, he did eat an awful lot of food. "I wonder if there's any connection with... HEY! I'm not THAT SHORT! ...I just haven't hit my growth spurt yet."

Rose was amused with Ed's reaction. "Of course, you're growth spurt." She hid a grin, "I'm sure it'll come at any time... in the future."
