Obesity is a major problem in today's society, and there is many things people can do to fix it, they just need the will power. A new scientific study on obesity in young American children has brought more depressing news. It appears we now are starting our children on the path to obesity before they can even eat solid foods. According to the research nearly one-third of 9-month olds are obese or overweight, so are 34 percent of 2-year-olds, the study analyzed a nationally representative sample of children born in 2001. So in conclusion, the children of america are being taught unhealthy eating habits, and they continue to eat that way as they get older.
To help decrease the obesity rate we should teach the new generations healthy eating habits. In doing so they will be more capable of creating a healthy ratio of healthy foods to junk foods when they are older. In the long run they too will be able to help prevent obesity in the future by teaching these healthy eating skills to their family as well. Therefore creating a cycle of healthy eating passed form generation to generation.

People are making their food full of calories and sugar now a days and people are loving it. Although what they don't realize is that it can cause you to have major health problems, and can cause obesity. West Virginia already is high on the charts for obesity and making all kinds of new fatty foods and selling them is making things worse. Also the kids these days arent as active as they used to be, because of the new technology and television shows. Most of them set around getting fat watching tv or playing videogames thinking it alright, but its not. If they shut down tv and videogames for a period of time then it may lower the obesity rate in the state. All kids need is the motivation, most of them have the energy. If people started selling healthy food that people may like then maybe they would stop buying calorie filled food and eat something better for their health. If only people could figure out that a little bit of exercise and some healthy food can make you in much better shape and can make you feel better too. We made things how they are today, and we need to fix them.

2/6/12 Assignment
Questions:
1. What are the Federalist Papers?
2. Who wrote the Federalist Papers?
Who was Publius?
3. Tell about Federalist Paper 10.
4. Tell about Federalist Papers 51.
Answers:
1. The Federalist Papers were written and published during the years 1787 and 1788 in several New York State newspapers to persuade New York voters to ratify the proposed constitution.
2. Alexander Hamilton wrote 52, James Madison wrote 28, and John Jay contributed the remaining 5. They all were Publius!
3. No. 10 addresses the question of how to guard against "factions", or groups of citizens, with interests contrary to the rights of others or the interests of the whole community. In today's discourse the term advocacy group or special interest group often carries the same denotation. Madison argued that a strong, large republic would be a better guard against those dangers than smaller republics for instance, the individual states. Opponents of the Constitution offered counterarguments to his position, which were substantially derived from the commentary of Montesquieu on this subject.
4. The purpose of No. 51 is to "form a more correct judgment of the principles and structure of the government planned by the Constitutional Convention." In the paper, this is done by informing the reader of the safeguards created by the convention to maintain the separate branches of government, and to protect the rights of the people.The Federalist Paper as a foundation text of constitutional interpretation, are frequently cited by American jurists. Of all the essays, No. 51 is the fourth-most cited.

Unemployment Dropped to 8.3 Percent in January:
The U.S economy picked up 243,000 jobs in January as the unemployment rate dropped to 8.3%, the Labor Department reported. This is the lowest level of unemployment since February 2009. They say the recent drop was because of jobs being added to the economy, not because of people becoming discouraged and are no longer seeking employment. They expected payrolls to grow by 140,000. They have added 60,000 new jobs in November and December of 2011. They don't expect the unemployment rate to get no higher then 8.5%.
Out of the Valley, Newt Gingrich:
Few presidential candidates have successfully emerged from the dark valley that likely awaits Newt Gingrich after his decisive loss to Mitt Romney in Florida’s primary. Only seven states vote in February and none of them are tilting towards Newt Gingrich. Michigan offers Romney a home-state advantage, and Nevada and Arizona, Romney will benefit because of the large Mormon population. But Gingrich hopes to win over Colorado and Minnesota. Although if he does not win, then Gingrich will not have another vote until March 6 on Super Tuesday.

I think they deserve to be put in jail. They won their position over people who more than likely deserved it. They cheated to win, and in my book winners never cheat, and cheaters never win. The others who lost should take their place. They committed fraud and deserve the time they are going to serve in jail, if not longer. They were wrong on so many levels and should be prosecuted to the full extent. Bowman, Whitten and the third person are a disgrace to their county.

If people does not text and drive, then it can be a lot safer for everyone. When people text and drive, then it takes their concentration off the road and they could swerve and cause a head on collision and take a life. I don't believe in texting and driving. It is unsafe and ignorant.
Pro: 1. People will cause less wrecks.
2. It will cause less people to die from car accidents.
3. People will pay more attention to the road and become better drivers.
Cons: 1. People may rebel against it and text anyways.
2. If there is an emergency and you only have texting on your phone and get pulled over and get an unwanted ticket.
