According to the United Nations Food Program, approximately 795 million people in the world are starving, and 3.1 million children a year, under the age of five, die from poor nutrition alone. These statistics make me feel guilty about my eating habits. I realized how often I resort to premade foods that are offered on every street corner, and at grocery stores. I have access to healthy organic nutritious food, but I passed that up in order to save time. I live a very busy fast paced life, and…
Fishers. “A place where she kept order, and is able to find beauty, that she never introduced to her children. She devotes herself and feels at home (Morrison 127). Once, Claudia and Frieda went to visit Pecola, at the Fishers. Aroused by the smell of blueberry pie, Pecola tries to reach for pan to see if was still hot but her nervousness made the pan tilt and fall to the floor, making a mess. Mrs. Breedlove enters and slaps her and in a voice thin with anger says, “Crazy fool . . . my floor,…
They had thousands of brands in so many different flavors -- chocolate, mint, peanut butter, plain, oatmeal, raisin, brownie, apple -- every flavor ever invented seemed to be on the wall.

Why It Makes Sense to Go Vegan I finally decided to become a vegan. No, it’s not because I am opposed to slaughtering animals for food. And no, it is not for religious or spiritual reasons.

After reading the book “How Not to Die” by Dr. Michael Greger [Amazon link], I became convinced that becoming a vegan is the way to better health and vitality. In his book, Dr. Greger discusses the many reasons why a plant-based diet is the path to avoiding…
Lennie’s Dream Farm. The sun was gradually setting down. The wind blew lightly, tenderly tickling the leaves on the trees. The bees were still picking the pollen dust on the field, where next to the brush laid a body. The body belonged to a boy with broad but childlike body.

That evening was calm and quiet, yet not…

He was about 5ft, and his upper body is toothpick thin. Even though he was short he could go 3 miles on a 6min pace. Kyle had more of overall…
