It seems to me that the fast food industry should be blamed for most if not all of the obesity in America. People want to eat healthy but the fast food industry has taken over. There are no other alternatives. Sure they claim to have healthy alternatives but when you look at their version of a healthy alternative in most cases you are back where you began. For instance the salad that they offer has the same deep fried chicken loaded with sodium that they put on the sandwich and the salad dressing is loaded with empty calories. Shouldn't the fast food industry be held more accountable for the products they serve. One sandwich can have the entire days worth of fat and calories. Like it or not fast food is a way of life and the industry should bear some of the blame. We should start a campaign to reduce calories across the board.

The fact is only 5 people in the entire world will die from a shark wound in an average year, whereas many millions of people swim in the oceans where sharks live. Can you think of any way to die that is as rare than that? Death from bicycle accidents, dog bites, snake bites, or other accidents are many times more common.

They tend to eat very efficiently, going after the old, sick, or slower fish in a population that they prey upon, keeping that population healthier. Sharks groom many populations of marine life to the right size so that those prey species don’t cause harm to the ecosystem by becoming too populous.

Of the 14 species of marine life that those sharks used to eat, 12 became more plentiful and caused great damage to the ecosystem.
