    This is a pretty good article. It is sad how they mentioned that chemicals which were banned in the U.S. and Europe for being toxic are now starting to be used in developing countries. It is sad to know that there are companies out there worried more about their pockets of "one"(the company) rather then the health and lives of thousnds of people.

    This article talks about how much schools waste. Tribune went into Chicago public schools to see just how much they were wasting. The results were 334 pounds of uneaten food per day. Often times children aren't allowed to take uneaten food out of the cafeteria because it falls into liability and health issues for the school districts then. Chicago schools districts is trying to come up with a way to not have as much food waste but not have liability and health issues on their hands.
