SUPER SIZE ME
By Amanda Garrido
Fast food is the term given to food that can be prepared and served very quickly. Super Size Me is an American documentary film that shows that fast food is very unsane. Experiment:


  • He must fully eat three McDonald's meals per day: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  • He must consume every item on the McDonald's menu at least once over the course of the 30 days.
  • He must only ingest items that are offered on the McDonald's menu, including bottled water. All outside consumption of food is prohibited
  • He will attempt to walk about as much as a typical U.S.A citizen, based on a suggested figure of 5,000 standardized distance steps per day,but he did not closely adhere to this, as he walked more while in New York than Houston.

The Strange Similarities With President Assassinations

By Andrea Parisca

Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in April 14, 1865. This was a sad day in America knowing that a civil rights actavist was murdered so brutally. The thing is that almost 100 years later a strangely similar phenomenon occured. On November 22, 1963 President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Another horrible tragedy for americans to grieve about, remembering that he too was a very popular civil rights actavist. Although the events aren't exactly 100 years apart you'll be suprised to find out that both presidents were killed by a single shot in the head. Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, was born in 1838. He shot lincoln, who was in the Ford theatre, while hidding in a nearby warehouse. Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was born in 1939. Lee shot Kennedy, while traveling in his car called Lincoln built by Ford. At the moment Oswald shot Kennedy, he was hidden in a theatre. Both shootings occured on a Friday. Both of the shooters were known by their three names composed of fifteen letters.
Everyone Knows how truly important both presidents were in shaping how the U.S. is today and i'm sure that no one forgot when they were chosen to lead the country. Lincoln was elected to congress in 1846, Kennedy was elected to congress in 1946. Lincoln was elected for president in 1860 while Kennedy was elected in 1960. Both of the first ladies lost one child while living in the white house. If this isn't enough information to raise a question, President Abraham Lincoln had a secretary by the name of Kennedy who advised him to not go to the theatre the night of his murder while, President John F. Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln who suggested to him to avoid going to Dallas. Finally Lincoln's sucessor was named Andrew Johnson and was born in 1808 and John F. Kennedy's sucessor was named Lyndon Johnson and was born in1908.
