Rise Seen in Food Allergies in Children

I just read a news article named "Rise Seen in Food Allergies in Children ." That article talks about the rising rate of allergies in children in these years. According to the article, different people may have allergies to different foods. Some of the people may have more than one allergies food for their body. It also mentions that hispanic children had lower rates of food allergies than white or black children. We should let our children know which food is allergy for them, and avoid to eat it.

After reading that news, I have a question. Is there any solution to cure the allergy except avoiding it? If I really like the food (for example: eggs)but I have allergy for this, what should I do...

Why I choose this topic to work with? It is because health is the most important part in everyone's life, and my grandmother have some problems with her body. I just want to pay more attention to this part so that maybe I can find some useful information for them. Also, find the significant parts my myself.

The Story of the Stuff

I'm sorry to put my blog entry late, because my blog didn't work last week, and they said that my blog was deleted...I followed Alyssa's suggestion to change my blog's name into "useful" instead of "useless." I hope it will work forever~~

The story talks about the environment, and there are five main points that she mentioned: extraction, production, distribution, consumption and disposal. First,extraction means that we use 30% resources all over the world in the US. Second, in production section, Annie says that we wasted too many energy to product things. Third, many companies use some bad ways to make the products cheaper than they they really are...Forth, we make lots of stuff every day, and contribute trash also.Earth can not digest all of the trash. Finally, the disposal is about the trash rececling, but only rececling is not enough to the speed that the trash come out. In a word, we have to protect our environment instead of wasting and producting useless stuffs.

In my opinion, it is a good video to educate how important the environment is, and let people aware that we are destorying our earth if we do that system continuely.

blog entry 'Fear of Flying"

I read a article named "Fear of Flying" a few minutes ago. Why this article attract to me? It is because I have a strong feeling just like the author's point. This article is talking about the quality of airplane's service is getting more worse and worse. I agree with this article's opinion, because whenever I take a airplane, I always feel uncomfortable like the author's feeling. There are a lot of suggestion about making plane interiors functional and comfortable. So, I think it is a good idea to solve this kind of common problems. If airplane condition will be improved some day, all clients will be satisfied with the service. Finally, I like this kind of article of criticism, because the author represent our opinions instead of each person's idea.
