At the beginning of the semester, we were assigned a team project. At first, the assignment sounded difficult to me because it was just at the beginning of the semester and I did not know my classmates or the team members assigned to my group. With the help of the teachers I was able to meet and get to know my team members by their names, we exchanged our phone numbers and email address to ease communication. In our first meeting, we were able to select the team leader, come up with the rules…

In the essay "Don't Blame the Eater" by David Zinczenko, the fast food restaurants have the blame for the rapidly increasing obesity rate in the United States. Individuals’ want fast food restaurants to have labels on all their packaging, but that lack of informational charts is not the problem.

Also, the FDA could have educated the public on the harms of buying from unregistered online pharmacies. Again, the entire backlash could…
