Corbin Contreras Inuit Article I agree with what article says. The food that we eat has an impact on cancer. Grass has a high component of cancer fighting nitrilosides. If the animals we eat for protein, eat grass then we have an opportunity to benefit of the grass.

As long as we have balanced diets we won’t have to worry about the chance of getting cancer or getting sick. Something’s in…

Areas such as Nantucket became places where industry started to boom, as people wanted more and more oil, bones, blubber, and every part of the whale.

Belugas have small eyes and they can't really see much, and thick layers of blubber that allows them to live in the frigid waters in the Arctic.

Some people may not believe this, but whales have been around for over 50 million years; however, they have not always like they do today (WGBH). Scientist have found over seven different species that whales could have originated from. Some species have had four legs with a furry tail; others have had two flippers and a blubbery tail (“The Evolution”) Here are some hypotheses for how whales have became whales: evolution (depending on religion and beliefs) or whales have just always been apart…
