Is it justified that any fast food company can remove soda from kid’s meal?

Generally kids want soda and the majority of the parents aren’t going to say no. Any fast food company as a commercial establishment can decide what to sell. Any fast food company’s interest in removing the soda option from the kid’s meal is based on government’s concerns about the problem of obesity in America. But I think any fast food company should let the parent decide what their children should drink. The decision to remove is a good and refreshing one to stop obesity.

I don’t think drinking sodas on a regular basis is healthy, I will never support someone else taking away my choices. It is really glad to see more fast food companies offering health choices. If parents want a choice, they can pollute their children by buying sodas.

There are number of children who are over-weight and are having adult health issues because their health issues because their parents do not limit their intake of unhealthy options. Some parents have raised their voices that these fast food restaurants are trying to fool parents into spending additional money as most of these children will pester their parents to buy a soda as a drink.

Why we should stop fireworks?

Fire works are unique and beautiful but they also pollute the earth. They are loud enough for the pets to bark and get afraid. It can be annoying when someone have to sleep. They are nice but they are often used in wrong way causing accidents to the innocent. Fireworks are rocking but they unleash a shower of toxins into soil and water.

Playing with fire works are a bone head without a doubt about it. Many people are so irresponsible setting them off in the middle of the road while cars are driving by. The animals get scared, they ran away from home and get hit by the cars or end up in shelters.

I think fireworks are waste of money and an environment issue with the ozone problems we have today. Buying fireworks is like watching your money going up in smoke.

Do you like answering cell phones when you are on bathroom?

Personally, I do not like talking to people when I am in bathroom. If it is important, whoever is calling should leave a message for call back. (Don’t you think cell phones are invented so that we can utilize this features?)

Coming back to why I don’t like. You can always hear the echo of a bathroom over the phone. I need personal time and also I feel uncomfortable. I just hope that whatever the reason I went in there to do happens quickly and quietly. It is a private moment for any individual.

I have noticed that the ones who use the cell phones on bathroom are always the same ones who don’t wash their hands or at most they splash their hands with water without using soap. It also spread germs because you will be holding that phone later on while eating or doing other things without cleaning it off. That’s gross. Isn’t it?

Also imagine your phone accidentally falling down on your bathroom!!

Are you concerned about reduction in bees population?

Bees are important in ecosystem and help keep balanced. Bees are all about respect. You respect a be, it will respect you. Chase it down or run around screaming, you will get stung. It agitates the bees. Bees are very crucial to the ecosystem. Without them the flowers cannot get pollinated to live and give oxygen. It is just like a chain, if one part is missing, the whole structure can die or suffer from it.

Bees are generally being killed by the pesticides on the blossoms / flowers they are getting pollen from. If we don’t stop their decline, our food sources will decline. Our food supply is dependent on bees. With a declining bee population, our market price will increase. Florists are also to blame along with farmers as they want their flowers to look perfect so they don’t want bugs in them.

I must admit that I am concerned because once the bees are gone it is a wrap for human life. We are eventually going to be extinct just like the bees.

TOP 5 REASONS BEHIND WHY WE SAY ‘BLESS YOU’ IF ANYONE SNEEZES

1. People believed that it has to do with plague which happened many years ago. If people sneezed, it meant they are ill and therefore were probably about to die and ‘bless you’ was used as a way of showing compassion for dying.

2. The purpose of saying ‘bless you’ is when you sneeze, you stop breathing i.e. the heart stops momentarily so bless you basically means that hope that your heart is ticking.

3. In middle ages, when this custom began, people frequently died from colds, which typically began with a sneeze, so if anyone sneezes, people would say ‘bless you’ in the hope you are not starting anything bad.

4. It is still supposed to be when someone sneezes they are riding the evil from them and saying bless you stops the evil going back in.

5. People would pray to God so that HE would bless the one who sneezed because people believe sneezing could blow your soul out of the body.

Dare to be different to stand out in the crowd?

Can you focus on developing yourself eschewing the ‘rat race’ of the educational-industrial complex to create the life you want?

Do you think having a higher degree and GPA will land you in the sea of jobs? It is the time to create a big change about the concept of higher education. Higher education is for the person who wants to experience, explore and invent something in the deeper way and also about the person he/she aspire to be not just the classes needed to fulfill the degree requirement. We fear that our own creativity may get wrong that’s why we hold ourselves from innovating something.

All the institutions are now trying to be prestigious like the admiring institution Harvard, MIT. There is nothing wrong in doing that but they should devise ways to make the class exciting enough for everyone. Let’s join hands to enhance our concept of higher education and dare to be different from traditional system. We don’t need to create or pass new law for this. Just show you are not afraid to be different.

Ways to become an inventor

To become an inventor you should believe everything and anything is possible with the right mindset and approach. You should be good in problem solving, devote yourself to continuous learning and always try to think that you can create a big impact on the world. You should be curious person and always interested in understanding how and why things work the way they do.

Anyone with an idea can make that a reality given the right resource and self confidence in that area. I know someone who is allergic to scented candles so she started to make her own candles with soy. Now she is selling those unscented candles in her neighborhood.

Your role as an inventor is to tread confidently in everything you do, continually achieve and set new goals, endure trying times and bounce back from failure. Persistence and determination are the keys to invent something.
