Has carnism gone too far?
Society and environmental conditioning have been causing significant pressure and impact on our decisions, as well as the eating norms, so it’s not uncommon that people give up their ideas, succumb to peer pressure, and blindly follow what the majority does, without ever questioning it. Over the last few decades, due to the farming industry and media propaganda, society has been favoring carnism which has been making a lot of people unaware that there are better dietary options to consider.

University life in Germany for international students
In my junior year of college, I went to Germany for the first time as an exchange student at the University of Leipzig. (It was a winter semester.) The closer we got to the winter solstice, the deeper the night became. The hours were long, classes ended at 4:30 and it was often dark outside. When I was waiting for the tram, I was wearing a lot of clothes and I was shivering. The Germans on the street were standing in the cold in their "national unity" wolf claw trench coats. Don't be nervous. Sometimes I even ate a big piece of bread while I was walking. At this point, I had to feel that Germans are freeze-proof ah.

Who Owns Florida's Natural Freshwater Resources?
When consuming tap water at home, does one know or care where the water they consume is drawn from or originates?

Do the Government’s climate objectives really matter?
Do the Government’s climate objectives really matter? Yes! But not to them. Before I start this article I would like to foreshadow for you its following contents much like Shakespeare at the beginning of Romeo and Juliet. Although I don't foreshadow two star crossed lovers taking their lives, I do say the Government's distant relationship with the climate emergency could spell an unfortunate Romeo and Juliet type ending.
