Eating late at Night

Ideas from an Article I Recently Read:

Does it matter how late we eat? Traditionally it is believed that eating late at night isn’t good for the digestive system. An article claims, “Our medical science has repeatedly attempted to show that it shouldn’t matter how late we eat just as long as we are burning the calories.” For example fad diets often say to not eat after 7p.m. but if a person is going to stay up until 12a.m. then it’s necessary to eat late in order to keep the metabolism going.

Eating late affects the body in different ways than eating during the day. “If we consume most of our calories at night, our bodies are not able to process the food as efficiently as they do during the day.” Furthermore, “if we lie down with a belly full of food, we are putting a strain on our system.” Eating habits like this often lead to waking up feeling lethargic.

*Libel*

In libel cases, the plaintiff has the burden of proof to show that the defendant’s actions satisfy all six elements of libel: (1) The statement must be a statement of fact, (2) the statement must be published, (3) the statement must be “of and concerning” the plaintiff, (4) the statement must be defamatory, (5) the statement must be false, and (6) the defendant must be at fault for the statement. Fault can be established either through intent, which either entails reckless disregard for the truth or actual knowledge of the falsity, or through negligence. If the plaintiff fails to prove any of the six elements, the suit fails.

I just think this is such a funny leaflet! Hahahaha

The following questions and answers are excerpts from the leaflet produced by London Greenpeace:

·What’s the connection between McDonald’s and starvation in the ‘Third World’?

o McDonald's is one of several giant corporations with investments in vast tracts of land in poor countries . . . evicting the small farmers that live there growing food for their own people.

·Why is it wrong for McDonald’s to destroy rainforests?

o McDonald's and Burger King are two of the many US corporations using lethal poisons to destroy vast areas of Central American rainforest to create grazing pastures for cattle to be sent back to the States as burgers and pet food. . .

·How does McDonald’s deliberately exploit children?

o The food they're seduced into eating (the children) is at best mediocre, at worst poisonous.

·In what way is McDonald’s responsible for torture and murder?

o In the slaughterhouse, animals often struggle to escape. Cattle become frantic as they watch the animal before them in the killing-line being prodded, beaten, electrocuted, and knifed.
