Is Hunting Ethnical?

When the movie Bambi came out on video I was just a little girl, it was my favorite movie it was the only movie that my mom could get me to sit and watch the whole thing. That movie made me think that hunting is bad because a hunter killed Bambi’s mom. It was sad for me. In our house we have a deer head on our wall and I remember telling myself that I will never hunt and I was mad at my dad for shooting that deer. Now that I’m older my mind has changed. The way that the population of deer is growing I think that if someone wants to hunt in hunting season for deer I'm okay with it. But if there are people shooting a deer not on hunting season is wrong. I feel that if someone shoots a deer make it worth it. I will never shoot a deer for my own reasons. I would never have eaten a deer for the longest time. For most of my life I was against hunting, it was wrong and cruel, which it still is, I just didn't understand how someone can shoot something so innocent and care free animal that hasn't done anything to harm people. I still feel this way but understand that the deer population is over flowing. So know I understand that hunting is a population control, not a game. The population is so bad that deer are being hurt or killed by cars and deer are also killing or hurting people by being hit by cars.

Cruelty, Civilty, and Other Weighty Matters

How is weight a public issue?
Weight is such a big public issue because of food. Food tastes so good. It is easier to grab packages of potato chips than to make a vegetable platter or a healthy snack.
Television is a big factor to our weight problems. The advertisements are very tempting to go get something to eat. From restaurants to chocolate they are all mouth watering good.
Now the majority of families eat their T.V. dinners in front of the television because it is easier to cook your dinner in the microwave and sit while watching T.V. something that I know very one likes to do. Instead of making a home cooked meal, setting the table, and sitting together as a family.
People now rely on fast food because it is fast and easy. Which are mostly hamburgers and French fries and you can super size it to if you are really hungry. People now no time any more, they barely have time to eat so when we do have a 10 minute lunch break fast food is the only opinion for most people. We don’t have time to make lunches in the morning or the night before with work and/or having children. Children have a adapted this eating issue to because their parents are a work all day so they have to make their own snacks and meals so parents buy easy to grab snack like pop and cookies and easy dinners or lunches like frozen meals to cook in the microwave.
I think there is a way to stop this nonsense. Make healthier grab snacks and meals. It’s all about making it easy for people with their busy lives and work schedules. We can’t stop eating; we have to eat to survive. So if we just make simple food changes we would probably see a lot of changes in our health and body.
