  1. Some years ago, on United States was created the new ice cream. Despite of people wh love the food of fat but hate fatten, theese people wanted fat food which was healthier. So Food and Drug Administration launched the new product: a creamy that consists of proteins from eggs and milk. This is called Simplesse.
    Nowadays, the most fat products are made by foodstuff that sustitute fats, thanks to these products, people can eat a big ice cream and only fatten few grams. But this foos don't only help to not fatten, moreover, scientists research the creation of products that people normally can't eat, for instance, food without lactose or gluten.
    In my opinion, all new products are healthier that others, but if we get sustituting nature food for artificial food, we will eat only artificial food which haven't enough nutrients for the human.

  3. For the past years, more 13 millions than fires have been burning in Hawgersville Ont., releasing toxic gases into the air, for instance noxious smokes and 100.000gal. of mercury oil.
    These fires, although they are controled by firefighters, they aren't good for the environment. On the one hand, tires are made of petroil, plastic or other types of fosil oil, so when we burn these tires, gases released are very toxic. It, despite of the material of tires are new and not recycled as others tires which burned, will be less toxic than new tires. For this reason, gases released damage the atmosphere, because these gases don't allow the formation of ozone which is very important in our lifes.
    On the other hand, people of Hawgersville should recycle tires in order to creat new tires, instead of burning. In this way, they had got more tires and less pollution. Moreover, these tires could be used in order to do recetracks or other places with old tires.
