there has always been disagreement on whether the invention would benefit mankind, or if it would be as pointless as a warning label on a pack of cigarettes. One of the most well known controversial topics in the US is whether companies…

People would always comment about my family living in SunnyDale how my uncle sold dope, my aunt always throwing the wildest parties. I didn’t want to be seen as some kid who’s from the “Ghetto” growing up to become nothing in life. I will be the first child/ grandchild to attend a four year University or State.

Although companies could use the first or second label formatting options, it is more likely that they will use the third option because it does not deter…

labeling is a better option. The Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015 would ensure the Food and Drug Administration is in charge of food labels instead of individual states developing their own regulations. By creating a nationwide certification process for GMO-free foods, this process will save many consumers for even higher grocery bills and confusing label changes as they travel from state to state.

After completing some of the weekly activities in the odyssey class, I realized that there are still so many things I am unsure or unaware of. One of the activities that really stuck out to me was reflecting on a quote from Father Joe. He said, “You see, dear—I think there are two types of people in the world.
