U.S is considerate to be number one of the highest productive and consumer goods in the world. This evaluation came from many studies and researches made on American’s life population comparing to other countries overseas. Keeping this high level of consuming things, like food, electronics, clothes, cars, and many other products that we use everyday, lead to so many companies around the world to keep the highest product for America by exporting the most of they’re production in our doors. This happened because they know that America, the country of freedom and the country of having the highest population in the world, will consist of bringing the highest money make in the world. But besides that our economy is build in that way to keep flowing or recycling old things to new things in a matter of short time, because this companies that are bringing they’re production in here are making things to not last long, so people will keep buying and buying.
For example: Cell phones are the most usage product in U.S. Every year a specific company will bring a new product with many new features, to make you replace the old one with a new one, or build the phones in that way to last one year and for you to have no choice but buy the new one. This recycling process or better way this wheel rotating in our life will bring to that point of saying that for real U.S is number one country of the highest productions, because number one the people, and number two the government.
Based on what we see, on what we learn, or what we read ill come to the agreement with
Annie Leonard, because all that junk that we waste money for, will go in the same way as a junk in the garbage, by creating mountains of trash. These trash will effect the pollution of the air, intoxicating everything by contaminating many goods as water, animals, air and the leaving creatures human been.
Let’s stop this for good by eliminating a little our consuming. Let’s make America the land of well preserved air, food, and mother nature.

America considerate to be one of the most countries that has majority of immigrants hired to work in many dirty works. Many of these immigrants had no papers or legal working permission because they had came in U.S by passing the border illegally. From this point of view many of these industries and factories are hiring many of them to work in the most unsafe conditions and pay them with the lowers salary that would exist because it would save them lots of money and it would increase the production.
The advantage they get from these migrants is very high because for an average U.S employee they would have to pay for medical insurance, vacation days, and overtime but for an illegal migrant which can’t speak no English, no legal papers to work, they would do whatever they want without the government knowing anything.
For example: The search made in meat factories has come out that 80 percent of employees are illegal workers from Mexico and the rest of 20 are regular U.S employees having all the benefits. These unbalance percentage has come because most of 80 percent of these people doesn’t care of the working condition as long as they get paid and have place to sleep. The low cost labor also had created a big poor community, which will lead to so many crimes, drugs, prostitution in order to survive.
Based on what I know and read I came to one conclusion that being an illegal migrant in U.S will lead to a discrimination against you, because your rights will be very limited to that point of not caring for you as a human being.

United States army is the most advanced and well equipment technology of the world.
The development of army came to that point to have soldiers commanding they’re equipments to enemy territories with out actually being there to fight and to get killed.
The new generations of controlling things were very helpful because it decreases the number of wounded soldiers and it helped them to get to enemy positions with out them noticing. Many of these machines are commanded from real soldiers that take orders from above. These orders are very strict, which has to be followed no matter what.
In the movie of the Sleep Dealer, we noticed the reality of future and the technology of connecting people to real computer system, of them commanding machines by using they’re brain and sending they’re nerves to main computer.
The thing is that US government is using poor countries people to experiment they’re advance technology, because they know that poor people in order to survive will do any kind of jobs.  
Memo this Mexican kid had a dream to go to the city and having the nodes install to his body so he could start working to help his family. He though that being part of that life will fix his life once for good. His body and his strength start changing getting weaker and weaker, but he cared less because on his mind was just money to help his family.
He always had his fathers face in his mind getting killed from these machines, till one day he finds out the real killer was a human being commanded from a computer system.
Rudy, the pilot who killed Memos father explain to him that he had no choice but follow orders to eliminate the target no matter what.
In conclusion I came to one main idea that US government is being very crucial with this poor countries by taking their goods and wells, and using they’re population to work in the most extreme condition. This is not the future. Human being has to survive and not using them for experiments, no matter what condition they are.

After watching both videos of our number one fast-food Mc Donald, i realized the consequences of eating those burgers, fries, and enormous cup of soda on our body.
I think all the American people who eats fast-foods all day long should see this videos, because it would tell exactly what it would happened to your body if this routine of eating will go on and on for a while. Consequences are devastated because it will lead to heart failure, stone in your kidney; cholesterol will go high and high, and many and many bad symptoms that will bring your death. This kind of experiment of eating without any control, and trying what will happen it connects very well to our previous stories of
The Allegory of the Cave," The Truman Show, The Matrix ect, because they all focus to one topic of what will happened at the end, and what is the truth behind the reality.
Believing is what we see and what we see is the reality of facing things in our daily routine.
Participating this class really helped me out to focus on many things that I have to improve of passing my CAT-W test. Dr. J the way that he explain things and the way that he worked with us it got me to that point of realizing many of my issues of reading a story, annotating, highlight the main ideas which I have to look for.
Also reading my blog entries one by one I realized the improvement that I put on in each one of them. The CAT-W practice was a very good idea of Dr. J, because it help me to think more deeply, and to be more confidence of my self before I get the real CAT-W.
Working as a group, it was a very good experience, because I could talk about my ideas, and see if my group agrees or not, and also many ideas of the group I could use them to improve my essays skill.
I hope the best of my self of passing the CAT-W. I am very thankful of Dr. J that helped me on ability of getting thru of my writing issues.

In Happy Meals the author Michael Pollan is bringing up many good issues that consist in our eating behavior and food productions. I like the saying that he mentions that: Don’t eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food. I totally agree with him in this fact because today’s stores are filled with many conserved food, most of them imitation of the real one, and also tons of junks that is been put out there just make profit out of it. When you walk to supermarkets you see twenty rows of rafts filled with lots of products which most of them you have no idea where they came from, how to cook them, how to eat them, and also what is more important is that how good this product will be for our bodies.
Besides that American life is build in this way of rushing and laziness, because most of the people eat they’re meals when they drive, when they walk to go to work or even eating outside because there are lazy to cook. But all depends how your life is build.
For example: In Japan people live longer than any other place, because most of the food productions in they’re tables are plants and seafood. This fresh products will expend they’re bodies to live longer because nothing is raised from antibiotics, nothing is fake and imitations.
When I first got to America me and my family didn’t know much of the food in here.
We start having the same routine as the American life. After I while my dad start having heart issues and the consequences were the food which thickness his blood and high his cholesterol. After the surgery and the entire medication, doctor told him that from now his primary food has to come from vegetables, because it will reduce the cholesterol and it will thin the blood. This fact gave us a good lesson to check all the labels and to cook at home which primary has to come from leaves. But as my family i think the whole American people should concider this fact as a very serious issue which has to be done immediatly.

In the US bottles of water are the most consume liquids of the populations, because it’s the cheapest drink, it’s more convenient to be carrying around, and it helps to keep your body from dehydration on the hot weather. Many people in the US think that buying the water bottle is safer to be drink rather than tap water that runs on our houses, in the public parks, schools, jobs ect. This idea of buying water came from our society, and media, which lead to many companies and factories to start producing bottles of water filled from the same source of water that comes on our house. But for a water bottle factory this could be a big plus because all that productions will put on their pockets a lot of money. But many people don’t understand that all that waste money to buy bottles of water is for free in our houses on our tap water, which very well it could be consumed to be drink by boiling that water for a certain time and put it on the fridge, so you can have it fresh and clean as the bottle of water comes from the supermarket.

I believe that cities and government have to work more on this event of making tap water more reliable for people to drink rather then buying that on the stores and groceries. Local health department have to come with many reports to prove that tap water it could be consume in our houses, public parks, schools. These could be also environment protections from millions of water bottle that people consume everyday. Lets all work together to bring people trust on the tap water, more saving, and eliminate plastic bottles once for good.

Meat production is one of the highest products sold in food market, and one of the most usage products of human been. Based on this calculation many industries of meat productions are having a ridiculous competition between farmer’s production and themselves.
Before factory meats booming around, many farmers had to raise their living creatures until a certain age, and then sell them in the markets which they will get the profits out of it, but after certain years this routine change, and the new generations of meat product came around which change totally the living life of the real farms.
I believe that many of these farmers were corrupted from these industries to sell their fields so they can build huge meat factories, which will bring more production in the market in the quicker way.
So the new generation of antibiotics started, by using any type of injections on animal’s body. These antibiotics were used in these poor creatures so they can increase the meat and the milk production. All this events that was happening and still happening were close in these deadly factories which animals were treated and killed in the most bizarre way.
The caring of these animals was very low, which lead of start spreading diseases among the animals and also the consumers; however these issues from the factories owners didn’t care, as long as the profit getting from them was raised every day by getting high and high.
Meat productions will always be in our tables, labeled, stamp, sealed in plastic which will prove the freshness of it, but no one will know exactly how this meat was raised. We as a consumer we have to look this event in more serious way, because whatever goes in our body has to 100% pure clean and naturally raised.
