big mac sandwich

I read article about Big Mac sandwich which says Big Mac turns 40- year- old sandwich when the Big Mac was first introduced in 1967 by Jim Delligatti, later this sandwich become very famous and it sold in 100 countries around the world and 550 million Big Mac are sold each year in the U.S. Also, I watched video about the big mace gay who ate big mace every day at least one meal every single day. The video mention that he ate 19,000 sandwiches of big mace. This sandwich which has 540 calories is very dangerous for our health; this may cause many kinds of disease such as heart disease, blood pressure, over weight and others kinds, in my case I quit to eat from this kind of food.

in this website http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/positive/family/net_safety.html

This site talks about the importance of the Internet in the present time and How could it be a wonderful way to get more knowledge especially for children. however, might cause a lot of problems if parents does not control their children while using the Internet. This site gives many ways to stop the threat of the Internet on children, such as determining when to use the Internet, browse the childern e-mail also by useing the e-mail between parents and their children it make it easier to control the content of e-mail.

I think that site gaves many ways and provided useful solutions to save the children from Internet use. Web has become one of the easiest ways to transform the thinking of any person, as well as it easy to deceive the children. We have heard many stories with sad ending because of the bad suing of the Internet especially among children. thus. parents should do thier best to protect their children.

FOOD PRODUCTION

People are starving in Africa. Food is the main ingredient for life after water. Therefore, humans can not survive without food. People in the past try to find many ways to provide food. They were depending on hunting and agriculture therefore they inventing tools for this purpose. In the past .There was no problem in the quantity of food because of the small number of people at that time. But, at this time the number of people has increased and the need for food increased too. Our world has addresses many wars in order to control or find new food sources. Since that time we are every day witnessing a large number of deaths because of lack of food. Thus, developed countries must play its role to fight poverty all over the world in every possible ways. Send international aid, provide food in large quantities, and involve the poor people to find solutions and the education. All these efforts can be successful to combat poverty and lack of food in the world.

Food production is produce moor food in large quantities. People started looking for more resource of food because of the population growth. Numbers of people have increased and the resources of food have decreased. In “Impact of Population Growth on Food Supplies and Environment” the author r said, “As the world population continues to grow geometrically, great pressure is being placed on arable land, water, energy, and biological resources to provide an adequate supply of food while maintaining the integrity of our ecosystem”( Pimentel, 1996, para.1). Africa and some other countries are straggling because of hunger. In Some parts in world people cannot find food and they are dieing every. In “18,000 children die every day of hunger, U.N. says” the author claim that “ Some 18,000 children die every day because of hunger and malnutrition and 850 million people go to bed every night with empty stomach”. (18,000 children die every day of hunger, 2007, para. 1.). The world should do something fast to step the big losing of people around world.

First off all, food relief has significant impact in the fight against hunger and poverty. No doubt about the importance of the international Aid organizations to combat poverty in several regions such as Africa and Asia. Food organizations have positive role in solving some problems of poverty. But, many poor nations still suffering from poverty and need more assistance. People in Africa dying every day in front of television screens because of lack of food this means that these organization could not provide enough quantities of food for poor people in that areas. Therefore it is the duty of rich governments to provide new sources of food with large quantities to assist humanitarian to do its duty.

Next, the need for food production has increased. Thus, many countries are looking now for new sources off food. Clone is one of the ways to increase and product new source of food also Aquaculture which use in different countries.” Aquaculture can be used to raise fish and shellfish in freshwater ponds or in fenced-in areas of floating cages in coastal lagoons and estuaries. It is supplies about 10% of the world’s commercial fish harvest”. (Miller, 1993. P.46). Because of the population growth the need for produce a large quantities of food in different ways become a top priority. ”Scientists have identified many plants and insects that could be used as sources of food” (Miller, 1993. P.44). In other word, the urgent need for food will make human looking for new sources to produce food.

Also, education is the basis for the success of any country in all areas. Therefore, we all know that poverty and starvation are usually spread in the illiteracy countries. Thus, education may be is one appropriate solution to combat poverty. If we provide education to poor people that will give them the skills that they need to improve their lives. In addition, education and poverty have direct link.” Hunger not only kills people, but it also takes away the ability to work and learn”. (World food day: Fight hunger to reduce poverty, 2001, para.4). So, education will give poor people more knowledge about agriculture, fishing and many skills. All these benefits from education may reduce the poverty rate not to mention the job opportunities that will be available for them.

Finally, the involvement of people in solving their problems is the first step in solving the problem. The lack of food production can be solving individually. Land reform is one way to do that. People can produce their own food if they own the land that they work in. own a land by poor people consider as a way to reduce hunger and poverty.” An important step in reducing hunger, malnutrition, poverty, and land degradation is land reform”. ( Miller, 1993. P.46) Thus, if we give poor people the chance to solve their problems with help form the governments that would be the first step to eradiate poverty.

Opponents claim that food relief may have a negative impact. Some experts say “most people view food relief as a humanitarian effort to prevent people form dying prematurely; however some analysts contend that giving food to starving people in countries with high population growth rates dose more harm than good in the long run”. Whoever, they are wrong because even if they think that helping people will let them depend on such organization instead of looking for solutions for their problem that will not negate the need for humanitarian aid. Also, the lack of suitable environment for grazing or cultivation is one of the reasons that supporting the need to help those people.” Other believe we have a moral obligation to feed the hungry under any circumstances”( Miller, 1993. P.46) thus, we have to help hungry people regardless where are they or what they have to do as long as they need help.

In conclusion, the need to increase food production has become a prerequisite these days. There are many countries suffer from food shortages. Finding solutions to this problem such as education, find other sources of food, and produce more food. Also make poor people involved in solving the problem and send aid through humanitarian is the appropriate solutions to stop the problem of lack food production. The number of the people is increasing and the need for more food is increasing too. We should find the rote of the problem in order to finish it for good.

Would you like fries with your clone?

In this article “Would you like fries with your clone?” says that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration mention a statement cloning is safe and people can eat cloned meat or milk. European Food Safety Authority says meat and milk of cloned animal is not a usual. First, the question is there any serious problem from eating the meat or milk of cloned pig or cow? People thinks not because cloning is just exact copies not more. The clone cow is produce milk same as an elite cow. Second, the cost of a good cow is about $1000. Such kind of good animal’s DNA we can use to get clone cow but it can cost around $20,000 a animal compare to healthiest and good young ones, which can be $100,000. This is also good for farmers to have cloned animal because it cost very low. Finally, the U.S. farmers are agreeing with this statement and the babies of these cloned animals have already given us the food supply. However, new researcher for cloning unfortunately give us a fear but really cloning is just a very good for the farmers not for the making it a business.
Cloning of animal and food is good for us. Nowadays people in MDCs have lot of problem because shortage of food and increasing the prices of food and food production. If there are cloned animal’s food or milk so people can get food such an easy way and at the cheaper price. It will help to decrease overall price of food, it will help to get quality meat, milk and milk products and it will also help to make money for farmers. So cloning is the most beneficial to the people and also for the government.
Firstly, cloning will decrease overall price of food. Cloning is very cheaper and not too hard procedures. Because lot of people are living in MDCs and they are facing problem to get enough food a day. If there is cloned food or animal so people can get more food at cheaper price. One-cloned young one’s cost would be $10,000 compare to elite cow is $200,000. People can get more animals and more food. So world can solve the hunger problems. People from MDCs they cant afford and mostly they are daily base laborers and they can’t get also health food because they neither have money nor enough money.
Secondly, it will help to get quality meat, milk and milk products. People can get quality food. Cloning is the bets to get good food. Because cloning is just a copy of a real animal and people can also get the same food from the cloned animal. For example, we can get milk from cow and at the same we can get from cloned cow. It will help to decrease the problem with the hunger world. People also can good meat from the cloned animal. Scientist and researchers says that cloned animal doesn’t have any side effect and people can eat. This cloned animal costs low so poor people also can get quality food. Government should give authority to some people for cloning the animal. So people from rural area can get chance to have enough and quality food.
Finally, it will also help to make money for farmers. Mostly food, milk and other products we can get from the rural area (from farmers). People who are in this business they are producing the food using the animals in their farms. Farmers have to spend lot money for animal and their care. If people have more chance to have cloned animal so farmers can buy animal and they also can use their instead of the tractors or other fuel energy equipments. They can save money and also get fresh air for good seeding. They can use organic agriculture using their cloned animal. So farmers don’t have to spend more money for energy equipment. They can have more cloned animal more farming and more money to save.
In the conclusion, use of the cloned animal that gives lot of benefits to the people and It will help to decrease overall price of food, it will help to get quality meat, milk and milk products and it will also help to make money for farmers. Government should help to provide this new policy and try to research further on this policy. Cloning is the best way to get quality, cheaper, and more food. Cloning will also help to decrease poverty and hunger world.

Organic Agriculture Production Systems

Are you looking for the Green World! In the rapid pace of development we have cause something painful serious damage to the natural resources. We are now faced with questions such as where is that clean water? Where is that healthy crop? And where is that refreshing air? These questions are very important for human and they have to think about it. The biggest problem is healthy food. How can we get healthy and more food? It’s all about the organic agriculture. I would like to say about alternative of organic agriculture of India in my paper because alternative organic agriculture has many advantages and it will help to have healthy human life. First, organic agriculture will grow and reduce poverty in agriculture’s world because most Indians are depended on agriculture for their livelihoods directly or indirectly. Second, organic agriculture has also offered attractive business opportunities, such as high value production for national market in India as well as Bangladesh. Third, irrigation procedure in India is most popular all over the world in agriculture industry. Finally, people should encourage traditional farming or agriculture farming to the farmers.
What is organic agriculture? The organic agriculture is a holistic system that focuses on improvement of soil health use of local inputs and relatively high intensity use of local labors. Indian farmers relied on the use of crop rotation, crop residues, animal manures, green manures and biological pest controls to maintain soil productivity. Farmers face multiple challenges; they need to increase crop yields, reduce dependency on human labor, and improve farming technology and infrastructure. Every one knows India is depended on organic agriculture. Organic agriculture production systems are relayed on particular and clear for food production. Farmers, agriculture researchers, agriculture productions, agriculture ministers are basis of the organic agriculture. Ancient practices have very good process for food production, high available resources. Moreover, people who lives in Indian villages they are only depended on farming or agriculture. So if people come up with the improvement of organic agriculture practices farmers can earn better and people can live healthy with this systems.
First, organic agriculture will grow and reduce poverty in agriculture’s world because most depended on agriculture for their livelihoods directly or indirectly. Of the world’s 1.2 billion extremely poor people, 75 percent live in rural areas and for the most part they depend on agriculture, forestry, fisheries and related activities for survival. Majority of people are farmers. More farmers will grow more food and they will earn more money. They can reduce poverty by them selves. They can also invest for buying more animals because they will also help for farming instead of tractor because tractor will cost more than the tacking care of the animals. In addition, development of rural areas may contribute to the preservation of the rural landscape, the protection of indigenous cultures and traditions while rural societies could serve as a social buffer for the urban poor in periods of economic crisis or social urban unrest.
Second, organic agriculture has also offered attractive business opportunities, such as high value production for national market in India as well as Bangladesh. Farmers should use organic material or fertilizers for organic farming. For example, they should use animal’s wastes and natural wastes like leaves and roots of tree. It will very cheaper for the farmers and they can earn more money. Today, agriculture employs 75 percent of the rural work force and provides 70 percent of rural earnings. It has enormous potential to put India's economic development on a high growth trajectory (2004, para. 16). Indian government should export agriculture production to the other country so Indian economy also will grow. We can recognize that this agriculture development is skyrocket and this business not only domestic but also international based. This business joints city-to-city, state-to-state and country-to-country. For example, nowadays U.S. and India has partnership in this agriculture business and lots of employment opportunity is already raising world wide. This agriculture development will be top 3 in the World businesses for the next generation.
Third, irrigation procedure in agriculture in India is most popular all over the world in agriculture industry. Irrigation is the best procedure to get water for the agriculture, to get electricity and to get drinking water as well. For example, Indian government should build a new irrigation project in major states, which is dependent on agriculture. Water, as an input to agriculture, is critical for sustaining the food security. According to the Agriculture & Rural Developments of India says, “As efforts continued to increase the irrigation potential the country, the last 40 years to gross irrigated area reached 8-million hectares”. Indian government should think about increase the height of the Narmada Dam because the Narmada Dam is blessing for the people who lives in villages. For example, if they can increase the height of dam so more villages can get more electricity, and water for farming and drinking. In addition mostly other developed countries also using this same irrigation practice as India. This practice has lots of benefits in agriculture development. India faces the daunting task of increasing its food grain production by over 50 per cent in the next two decades. Increasing competition for water in agriculture, industry, domestic and environment uses is already manifested in inter- and intra-sector, basin, state, district and village level conflicts.
Fourth, people and government should encourage traditional farming or agriculture farming to the farmers. Motivation or encouragement can be best friend for people. For example, if people should encourage the traditional farming to the other people so people can get quality food for hunger world. According to Smt. Pratibha Patil “there is also a need to learn to respect and encourage the traditional wisdom of our farmers and their traditional farming practices particularly in water consecration measures.” In addition water supply must time to time for the farming in all villages also seed and grain banks. For example, water supply must time to time for the farming in all villages also seed and grain banks. In addition, the president of India says that we must continue to enable village communities to conserve their bio-diversities in the field of gene banks and preserve water, seeds and grains in village water, seed and grain bank. Indian agriculture should hire some researchers for the provide knowledge or new method of farming to the farmers. They should go to village to village and they should teach new method for the farming. Such as, new method of farming could solve the problem of more use of chemical fertilizers, which can damaged field as well as food.
My opponents of organic agriculture say India is poor country and people from rural area can’t afford enough money for organic agriculture. People neither have enough money to buy farming machinery nor tacking care of their animals. However, this is not a true because Indian government has lots of new methods and solution for the farmers, who are not able to spend enough money for their farming practices. The government of India provide Krishi loan as well as they give lots of benefits to the farmers. For example, government offers without interest loan for the farmers, education loan for their children to study and provide new technologically farming equipment as low as actual price.
In conclusion, organic agriculture is the best way to get organic food. Organic agriculture will grow and reduce poverty in agriculture’s world because most depended on agriculture for their livelihoods directly or indirectly. Organic agriculture has also offered attractive business opportunities. Irrigation procedure in agriculture in India is most popular all over the world in agriculture industry. People and government should encourage traditional farming or agriculture farming to the farmers. According to Swift Et Al, (1994) “Agro biodiversity is the most potential option for the sustainability for the agriculture production system “ (Para. 2). In the future there is a growing demand for organic food will increase. The interest in organic agriculture in developing country is growing because it’s more reliable on the nature. After all it will greatest impact of organic agriculture on the people’s mind.

Cities trying to rejuvenate recycling efforts

This article is from usatoday.com. The author mention the local government of Fort Worth wants to encourage nation’s recycling effort by economic stimulus and punishment, because the local government afraid of scanty landfills. Most people pay attention on environmental issues of hybrid car or global warming because landfills have enough volumes. Fort Worth took an impressed step to help recycling when it charged the trash can on the pavement. The residents of Fort Worth began throwing more into the recycling bin after the government charged the fee of the trash can. The city made more money now than lost money before by selling recyclable materials. The container that people can throw recycling into make recycling is easier. An environmental economist said recycling cost much money than dumping garbage at the landfills. Recycling is like entertainment because people feel less guilty when they do recycling for protecting environment. The amount of recyclable garbage is growing slowly in America from 1990 to 2000.

Recycling is a good way to reduce the amount of garbage. I do recycling in Taiwan and residents in Taiwan need to do recycling when they dump their garbage. We don’t have to do recycling in Carbondale. I feel guilty when I put all kinds of garbage into the garbage can. I think the state of Illinois needs to make a law to make residents do recycling. Some people recycle garbage at schools or restaurants. A lot of people don’t do recycling at home. Recycling is good way to protect our environment. I will do my best to recycle garbage even though I don’t have to recycle garbage in Carbondale.

In my opinion , before I start to write about this article is good or not I want to say why I choose it ? .First of all ,smoking is very common in our life. Not just for adult people, but also for teenagers. The big problem is people who are smoking they don’t know what is going to be when they use it? And what ill they will get it?

Bowie City Promotes Recycling

According to the article Bowie city promotes recycling (2008), The Washington Post. The City of Bowie in the state of Maryland is encouraging people to start recycling. There are already a number of citizens that recycle even there is no a law however, the authorities of the city are promoting considering that more people should recycle. To promote the plan there are propaganda in newspapers and the website of the city. This program has been announced since September last year; however, the process is slow because the city has to provide to household bins to place the materials to be recycled. James Henrikson director of Public work said, “The test program is expected to cost about $60,000 and would involve 1,000 households”. It is also expected that in the whole program would get involved about 168,000 people but this could happen in 2010. There are some cities around Bowie, such as Laurel and College Park that have already started a similar plan and the amount of recycling material has grown considerably.

The need of recycling is increasing every day. We listen every day about global warming as a part of the destruction of biodiversity. Natural resources are decreasing every day and not too many countries have considered seriously, what to do before is too late. Recycling is a need today because the environment is damaged not only by using natural resources but also by throwing away toxic materials that have great negatives effects in the environment. I think that everyone should recycle. Recycling should be a mandatory issue for every single people in the world. By doing this, we would be more cautious how we use our natural resources.

I did the smoking ban survey one week ago. It was really an interesting experience. I have met a lot of people in SIU and I asked different friends to tell us about their opinions about smoking ban in general. Ifound that many people have different opinions. Some people are totally agree and support the new regulations of banning smoke in Illinois and they which if the government ban the smoke all over the country. opponents of smoking ban said they have the right to smoke and if the have the chance to vote they will vote against the new regulations.

It is the duty of governments to preserve the integrity of human by not providing what could harm the health.In addaition, governments all over the world know the danger of drug use, and the increasing of deaths among drug users. smoking is one of those thing that may harm the health. therefore, they shuold not only ban the smoke in public but the shuold stop the companies that produce the smoke. many people die every day because of smoke. We all know that sigarette contains Carbon Monoxide which can kill smokers in the long run. thus, all of us must go for smoking ban.
