The type of research that was done and the amount of work that was put into this journal article is a fantastic example of how people work in the science field. Sometimes we faced struggles but we were able to overcome them and become closer as a group in order to achieve a goal. The research we did can be used for anyone if they want to see what kind of meat is inside certain food products, and we were able to utilize our skills we learned in class and apply them to the real…

This article is about Lorin Madsen, who contracted Necrotizing fasciitis after she fell in a parking lot and skinned her arm. It discussed how many people were had to be amputated or worse killed due to this, because there was no real way to cure this infection. It usually treated with surgical excision and antibiotics, but the death rate is still to 70%. After many attempts on Lori Madsen to cure the infection her situation started to become worse until she was introduced to Dr. John Crew. He devised a plan to irrigate the infected areas of her arm, by using a FDA-approved wound cleaner called NeutroPhase, which contained hypoclorous acid in the solution.…
According to statistics, more than one billion people in the world are undernourished today. In his article “Attention Whole Foods Shoppers”, Robert Paarlberg discusses recent food policy of Western countries, according to which food products should be organic and local. In result, poor African countries experience hunger and worsening of the agriculture infrastructure because most Western countries lost their interest to invest the agricultural systems of developing countries. While in the West food becomes more and more exquisite, poor countries become deprived of the most basic food products, such as rice, wheat, and others. Paarlberg emphasizes that helping developing countries is no more a trend today and the world market is justified…
Most animals exhibit some type of aggressive behavior when confronted with one another, and this behavior is also shown in freshwater crayfish. Aggressive behavior in crayfish can be seen by anybody, but it becomes more prominent in a restricted laboratory setting. Groups of crayfish of about the same length and the same sex, plainly exhibit a pattern of dominance. When observed, it is noted that the crayfish perform different degrees of combative behavior. Researchers beg the question, how does the sex and the of size crayfish influence the different levels of aggression?…

Intro: Food has shaped the world into what it is in the modern day, and food played a major role in the history of mankind. In An Edible History of Humanity, by Tom Standage, Standage focuses on how food has had an impact of food from when hunter-gatherers were around, to the present day. Standage’s goal is to teach the reader the overall importance of food in our world, more than just what it is to most people now, something that we eat to fuel ourselves, which usually tastes good. He wants to look beyond the eating aspect of the food and tell us the importance of it way before we were alive. His choice of teaching history based on food and food only is quite an interesting idea.…

This week the central theme of the text is to follow the shifts in the main food source and the dependence on tools, weapons and etc. For example, The Lummi were dependent on salmon for thousand of years for an important resource the Lummi built logjams in salmon breeding areas due to eroded lands to keep their main resource. With the Northwestern Indians strong cultural, economic and political ties to salmon reaching beyond the borders decreasing challenges to their main food supply was inevitable. Moreover, the readings this week show the shift in food supply after the first contact with the Europeans you can see the Northwest Coast people starting to hunt mammals of the sea change their main food source and becoming dependent more on weapons.…
The Native American population has suffered many tragedies at the hands of the United States government from their first interactions through the mid-twentieth century. Government policies concerning American Indians worked in conjunction with the prejudices harbored by the majority of the white population in the United States to suppress Native American liberties and strip them of their cultural identity. These policies gave little to no regard for Native American customs, personal expression, or the future of Native American traditions, and had profound effects on the Native American individuals and families who were forced to encounter them. The government policies enacted by the United States regarding Native Americans were wrought with…
Sarah the traditional Native American diet was one that modern-day nutritionists would consider a gold standard – full of lean meats, protein, fruits and vegetables and low in fat, refined sugars and sodium. Native people hunted, fished and gathered their food from the land. But then in 1830s and 1840s, under the Indian Removal Act, Native American tribes signed treaties with the U.S. government that relegated them to reservations. This relocation also removed Native people from their usual food sources and the active lifestyle that hunting and gathering required.…
In the article “The Impact of Malnutrition on Intelligence at 3 and 11 Years of Age: The Mediating Role of Temperament” the authors wanted to find out the effects of malnutrition on children’s intelligence and the role of temperament. In their hypothesis, they stated that “three aspects of malnutrition (stunting, wasting, and anemia) assessed at age 3 will be related to degradation of cognitive performance at ages 3 and 11 years, and also to an inhibited temperament at 3 years.” They tested whether factors of temperament (inhibited and uninhibited and task-orientation) has a “mediating effect on intelligence” (Impact of Malnutrition). In order to test their hypothesis, the authors used previous research from 1972 where 1,795 participants from…
