Synthetic Foods: More Food

Synthetic food’s have been proved to show that there would be an proliferate in food and animals will be impervious with only the use of muscle. The development of  synthetic food, allows to bring complete proteins into the body that it could not produce. So many products can be improved without the unnecessary animal slaughtering. Synthetic foods are created by the combination of food substances and subjecting these substances to different modern processes in order to obtain the desired food product. “We need to reduce carbon emissions and toxic inputs, use less land and water, combat pests, and increase soil fertility,” plant geneticist Pamela Ronald, director of the Laboratory for Crop Genetics Innovation at the University of California, Davis has said. Giving that, The proteins contained in these artificial foods were derived from natural foods. Synthetic foods are created by the combination of food substances and subjecting these substances to different modern processes in order to obtain the desired food product.

Using synthetic food will help in an increase of animals and less toxic chemicals in our food. It is even purported the possibility of self-fertilizing syn-bio plants, which the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development writes “could revolutionize agriculture and would significantly decouple agriculture from the oil industry.” The proteins contained in these artificial foods were derived from natural foods. Synthetic foods are created by the combination of food substances and subjecting these substances to different modern processes in order to obtain the desired food product. This will also help obviate the ingredients in certain foods and allow things to have more nutrients that are missing. “In the face of energy and water constraints, a squeeze on cultivable land, and an imperative to limit greenhouse gas emissions, syn-bio could also transform the way we farm and eat,” writes Garthwaite.

This is an example for Synthetic Foods

By reading what others have commented on the topic of synthetic foods, my personal ideas will have confer with professionals.  Synthetic foods is a way that in different countries and states will stay the same and although it might deviate from the normal food that we already eat, it will provide positive effects on everyone and on the planet. This does not mean just meat can be changed. Plants such as, herbs, vegetables, and fruits will also be created in syn-food related form, using the same process and materials for such improvements. Agriculture, after all, accounts for 70 percent of all water use. The systems of mono culture farming also have a downside, with pesticide and antibiotic being used, plus factory-farmed livestock, these wreak havoc on human, animal and environmental health.

Teen Challanges: Less Sleep, Tired Teenagers

Studies have shown that teenagers are not getting the sleep that is needed to begin the day. Many do not get the eight hours of sleep required in order to stay incisive during classes and during work hours. Given the amount of work students need to do and the amount of time they have to do it, including after school activities, they become sleep-deprived and stress builds up because of it, the anatomy of the body may become sick. According to Judith Owens, a sleep expert at a children’s medical center in Washington, D.C., starting school later in the day is an effective way to reduce the negative consequences of sleep loss. Most schools follow a certain time rule in which different grades go to school at different times. The pediatricians group recommends that schools start at 8:30 a.m. or later. Today, more than eight out of 10 schools start earlier than that, some even starting at early as 7 a.m. Many student athletes have early practices at 6 a.m. For all these students, fatigue is a way of life. At one school district in the Chicago area, classes start earlier as students get older. Elementary schools start at 8:15 a.m., middle schools at 8 a.m. and high schools at 7:45 a.m.

Some students perform sports or other extracurricular activities so returning home at 10:00 pm is not a big surprise. “ The 10-year-old who went to bed at 9 p.m. becomes the 13-year-old who can’t get to sleep until 11,” Owens said. To excise some activities and have punctilious planning to figure out what the schedule would be, it would mean more sleep to get energy. The lack of sleep is not the only thing during school or work hours that is unhealthy, so is eating. Schools are having lunches too early. During lunch hours, students have lunches in the morning at 10:00 am or at 11, leaving them very hungry when they return home and ask for something to eat. This causes them to not eat at dinner with the family. “At this age, kids don’t talk to you that much — so you look forward to having that one meal together,” said Diane Zezulak, the mother of a freshman.

 

In my opinion, to be concise, rest is the best way for students to stay healthy and awake so they can learn. To complete the tasks that were assigned and to try to get enough sleep, students have a harder time getting out of bed in the morning and staying awake through the classes. This type of thing is fractious, many students, parents and friends want opportunities to spend time together when they have the chance, to talk and have fun. Children and adults both need interaction with each other. Being tired to do anything and cranky to have time to do fun thing with the family is something that needs to be taken care of for the health and well being for everyone especially younger kids. This may imprint on them that it is a normal thing and will continue to do so until their methods are corrected by a superior. I myself, do this sort of thing, staying up late to finish an big assignment due, and be completely exhausted when waking up and going to school only to strive to stay awake to pay attention in class. Sleep is one of the most important elements a person needs for great health.

 

For many high school students, exhaustion is a part of life

“Fake News” Will You Believe It?

The recent presidential election created a new form of media, “Fake News”. Fake News is information that has been manipulated by a writer to create a story that draws an audience. Fake News sounds true, and the place where it is published looks like a real news page, but it is all created to make money or create chaos. In the article, “Fake news author is fired, apologizes to those ‘disappointed’ by his actions,” by Joe Marusak,  Cam Harris, a recent Davidson Collage grad and Republican intern, states, “While the initial motivation behind launching a fake news site as financially based, the lesson I learned from the experience is far more important and it’s one that cant be covered  in a tweet or even a NYT article.” Harris was the author of a fake news article, “BREAKING: Tens of thousands of fraudulent Clinton votes found in Ohio warehouse.” that may or may not have swayed voters. His argument evinced the mantra “the election is rigged” and :was eventually shared with 6 million people.” “Fake” news can be used for political propaganda or for financial gain, but it is ethically irresponsible. Harris and Davidson Collage apologized for their action; however, there is no way to retract  the information people have read and shared. Many are unable to deduce that the news found in these articles are not true.

People who know Davidson College graduate Cameron Harris said he’s a funny, smart guy, and voiced support for the man at the center of a fake news storm. A New York Times story detailed a fake Clinton story he wrote that was shared more than 6 million times.

Cam Harris, author of “Fake” news.

In the article, the author uses numbers and statistics to induce the reader to look closely at the news for validity. The fact that “Harris is a 23 year old” who created such chaos at such a young indicates the issues with fake news. The author may be saying that the younger generation does not realize how dangerous this type of news can be. The mention of  ‘Tens of thousands’ of fraudulent Clinton votes” was an impetus  for the article to be “eventually shared with 6 million people,” Harris use of such large numbers caused people to believe and spread the news. In his statement, Harris’ use of the phrase “There are large-scale changes occurring in America” makes the reader weary of fake news articles that are intractable once they are in the mainstream media.

Knowing of this event and knowing how irresponsible someone can be, allows me to understand how to be aware of what I chose to believe and what I know. Reading Harris’s article gives me a small portion of what can come from false information given to thousands of people all over the world and to those who composed and posted these counterfeit facts. I give my opinion of this matter to show my dissatisfaction for this and hope someone doesn’t do something so impetuous as well. The consequences given to Harris is acceptable seeing what happened due to his negligence and his urge to gain popularity and financial gain. This strife will still continue without our knowledge and many more innocent people will still fall for their antics, causing more misconduct to fall upon many. Please be cautious of what content is presented on sites.
