About the article

Hi : )

I'm going to talk about the article "U.N Says 2015 Likely to Be Warmest Year on Record" written by John Revill from THE WALL STREET JOURNAL.

The WMO said that the period 2011 to 2015 has been the warmest five years on record with many extreme weather events influenced by climate changes.
The announcement came days before world leaders meet in Paris on Monday to open two weeks of talks on how to protect the planet from the potentially catastrophic consequences of global warming.
If it is successful, the Paris climate conference, known as COP21, blind developed and developing countries into cutting greenhouse-gas emissions for the first time.

2015 seem to be the hottest year on record.
This is very bad news for humans, animals, and plants living in this planet.

Global warming affects our life.
If the climate continues rising, abnormal weather will be caused. And then, grain will not grow up and also, the animals that eats grain might not live.
Finally, I think, a food chain will collapse. Our eating habits will change greatly.

To prevent the rise in climate, we have to live not to exhaust carbon dioxide if possible.
As for me, I'll use trains in substitution for cars.

The accumulation of small efforts is very important.

About my book 3

Hi


I want to tell you about my book.

Now, I'm reading about "How People Get Their Food"

Humans use a range of technologies to get and process their foods.
Some are more complex and others simpler in terms of the tools and technologies used to get food are part of larger "adaptive strategies"
That is social and cultural conditions that are associated with different sets of tools and techniques for food getting.

Each strategy is associated with a set of challenges to be solved.
The dietary challenge to contemporary foraging groups is to find enough food to feed themselves in environments in which they live off the locally available plants and animals without exploiting the resources available excessively.
People must manage their food production in a way that allows them to continue to find sufficient productive land for their crops close to home, and they must find ways to supplement starchy staples with high protein foods.
Also, they must find ways to produce enough subsistence crops to feed themselves or generate sufficient income from small scale agriculture to buy food.
The social and demographic consequences of foraging are that population densities are small.
As a result, peoples following these strategies suffer from fewer infectious diseases.


I can learn from this section that there is long history that people get their food.
It is important to find good environment.

Tests :'(

Hi

I've taken the test " Food Culture Tests"



Score is ...

44%... : ( omg


But, I can gain the additional knowledge  about food through doing the quiz.

Especially, I surprised to know  the difference between jelly and jam.
I thought that Jelly is a type of gelatin; jam is fruit preserves.
But, this answer is

Jelly is made from fruit juice; jam is made from crushed fruit. I've never known the knowledge. I want to know these knowledge about food more ! Food Culture Tests http://www.csmonitor.com/The-Culture/Food/2012/0727/Are-you-a-real-foodie-Take-our-quiz/What-is-a-prix-fixe-menu#
