Fast Food Companies Can End Obesity Judging from the title of John Freedman’s “How Junk Food Can End Obesity” one conjures up an image of Freedman pressing hard to change the minds of scientifically based options surrounding fast food one deep fried, ketchup-doused French fry at a time. The title resonates with the Maroboro Man ads of the 60s and 70s when the company was losing support from the American population and they were making their finally attempts to forcefully coax Americans into…

First of all, it use to be a farm place. So it was basically created by us. So we should be able to decide if it should be a national park or not. Since it use to be a farm, people from around the nation could learn about the type of farming that was done here . Also it could teach us how it was formed. Which that is what…

Local sustainable farmers use healthy practices in farming, leading to more healthy plants, leading to a healthy consumer. “Because of the healthy soil and the natural farming techniques, the food produced through organic farming is richer in minerals and micronutrients¹. The healthy organic plants are often much more flavorful than those produced through conventional farming.”(Greentumble). Other than how industrial farms are focused on yields and amounts, local…

The U.S Justice system and sense of authority is questioned as Carson reports the farmers unjustifiable acts towards animals. Carson describes these animals misery as they were “doomed by a judge and jury” by the farmers. By applying “judge and jury” to animals, Carson personifies them, to reach a sympathetic effect. In our society, we view the death penalty as the pen-ultimate punishment of brutal convictions. However by viewing these animals as humans, the Farmer’s reached this death penalty…

When you are going into the fridge to find something to eat or drink, do you think about where the food or drink comes from? I highly doubt it; if you were to think about it, I would bet most of the products in your fridge have some type of dairy cow product in it. That is why it is so important to have research on dairy cows due to how important they are for human health. Without dairy cows I believe that humans would not have thrived as long as we have due to how many products dairy cows are…

as “a collection of all of Klaas’s lowly, soil supporting grains and legumes, cooked and presented in the manner of a classic risotto” (Barber 4). One waiter described the dish as a “nose-to-tail approach to the farm—an edible version of Klaas’s farming strategy” (Barber 4). Personally, I think Barber’s idea is a great start to the problem of low support for farmers. Increasing variety of ingredients in dishes can let farmers make money off cover crops while also reaping the agricultural…

A mulch is any material spread on the ground to protect it. Its purpose is to conserve moisture, retard erosion, suppress weeds, moderate extremes in soil temperature, look tidy, require little to no maintenance, and as a bonus, protect tree trunks from your lawn mower. As it breaks down, mulch leaches nutrients into your soil, improving its structure, and enlarging its capacity for storing water and nutrients. In the vernacular of Frankenstein’s monster, “Mulch good.” Mulch is an ideal…

Hand stripping is the best way to achieve the best results however is rare and usually performed on show dogs as this takes a lot of time and hence will be expensive. Removing a complete coat by hand will of course take hours. The stripping knife is by far the better option as it is much quicker and does not damage the coat but removes the soft under layer and dead hairs. The clipper is usually performed when matting is bad as clipping makes the coat soft and therefore is incorrect for the breed…
