Delicious, But Not Nutritious!

Many kids spend their nights sitting on the couch and watching some television. What do they do while they’re doing this? Well, they eat all the food they can until they feel sick. I bet you’re wondering why this happens. Every night these kids get hungry, and why is that? Because of the food commercials! These commercials are making the people in our nation obese. They get no physical activity whatsoever! Unless they lose the remote and they have to get up to change the channel. These food commercials are making us not care about our bodies anymore, and we need to put a stop to it!

 Have you ever wondered how McDonald’s became so popular? Well, they have done this by making ads. Their ads make their burgers, fries, and other foods look delicious, and I’m not saying they aren’t. But even though their delicious, doesn’t mean they’re nutritious! They are very unhealthy and make us gain a few every time you take a bit. McDonald’s is one of the fast food companies that have their commercials play the most. Once a week eighty-four percent of parents take their kids to a fast food restaurant. But sixty-six of that percent of parents take their kids to McDonald's, which is one of the unhealthiest restaurants. Any parent can take their kid out to a fast food place, but once in a while, maybe they could consider a healthy one.

 Next to McDonald’s, Subway looks really bad to kids. It seems as if Subway isn’t as delicious, because it’s not as greasy. Subway is way healthier for you. Usually when you eat there you order a sub, and that’s it. That sub could fill you up as much as a hamburger, large fries, large soda, and two apple pies from McDonald’s all put in one! That’s more than two thousand calories less (depending on which sub you get). Maybe, if food ads are less shown, people will realize Subway is the better deal, and maybe kids will start eating more healthy because of it.

Food commercials are one of the reasons the people in our country aren’t the skinniest. You might be getting a salad or something ready to eat, and then you see an ad, and get a craving. It might be cheap, but that’s not an excuse for all of us to be fat…..get your act together, or you’ll be joining the club. The U.S is described in one word to other countries: obese. We don’t want to keep this name forever! Let’s change this around and be healthier! Or soon we will have to take turns rolling each other around like bowling balls because we can’t keep ourselves up.

Seeing Double!

Pieces of popcorn are like the human race; no two people are exactly alike. Some might have the same laugh, or walk similarly, but no one has the same personality as another person. This is why cloning is pointless. We want our world to be unique, not a bunch of people or animals that all act the same. We have a variety people, and we want to keep it that way. Cloning might help us in some ways, but in others it’s a waste of time, money, and lives. Cloning had so many disadvantages. Including that cloning never works perfectly because there’s always some sort of side effect. For instance, Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997 (Knight). She was put down six years after, because she got lung disease (Knight). Sheep are usually supposed to live up to age twelve (Basic information about sheep), but Dolly didn’t live up to this expectation. Many other animals have had failed organs because of cloning. If almost all of these animals are dying, why are we still experimenting? A fter you get past all of the bad things about cloning, there are some upsides to it too. Maybe, just to be safe someone cloned some of their organs incase one of them had failed. This would be great if everyone could do this because we would never lose our loved ones unless it’s truly time for them to pass. Another positive thing about cloning would be we could clone a professional athlete, but cloning isn’t what everyone thinks. You don’t just take someone like David Beckham and put him into a giant machine and two of him appear. Cloning is a long process that involves cells. For example; you start by taking many cells from the donor animal, then you take out the nucleus from each and every cell (Cloning: How To Make Identical Genomes ). Next, you take many egg cells from a female and take out the nuclei’s, then replacing those with the nuclei’s from the person or animal you were cloning and place the cell into the female’s womb (WHAT IS CLONING?). Then, after the person or animal gives birth to it, it starts out as a baby, then in many years will grow up looking as if a copy of the donor clone. I personally think cloning is a horrible idea. Sometimes it’s good, but clones usually have very bad side effects. They’ll get horribly sick and get lung disease (Knight), or they might turn out really messed up. Also, many animals die from experiments on cloning, and they don’t deserve that. We don’t need to keep going through with this process, because no one should be tested on, unless of course they want it. Animals have rights too, and they have as much of a right as us to not be tested on. Overall, cloning is a pretty good idea. It might be a very long process, but it might work in the end. Because it takes so long, costs so much, and kills many animals, we shouldn’t be still trying to clone. In the end, like it was for Dolly, it could be a big failure. After everyone realizes how ridicules the idea is, we could actually stop scientists, so they can spend more money on something more important, like finding a cure for cancer. The scientists could be saving lives, but right now they’re doing exactly the opposite.

Best Mall Experience

What a beautiful day! Then sun is shining, the sky is clear, and it’s so warm! What are you supposed to do on a day like this? Go outside? Play video games? Maybe….but no. it’s a great day to go to the mall. My friends and I had a trip to the mall, and it was like one of the best days of my life. It was such a fun-packed day! To start off the day, we decided we should all get a bouncy ball. They were very bouncy. We lost them a couple of times, but eventually we got them back. Then, we headed to the changing rooms and made each other try on the ugliest outfits we could find. The funny part is, Austin was with us……and we were in the women’s dressing rooms. This lady was waiting for him to come out, even though he wouldn’t, so she could prove he was a guy. So I went in there and exclaimed, “Common Lauren! It’s time to go!” and he came out, but she followed and yelled at us. To top the day off, the photo booth took our money. What a miraculous day!
