Tainted Seafood

The article "Tainted Seafood" talks about the fish that are being imported into the U.S. from countries such as China. The fish are being grown in dirty sewage water and are having chemicals pumped into them before they are sold. I absolutely think the FDA could be doing more in order to help make our seafood safe. The FDA should require that BOTH resturaunts and grocery stores list what country the seafood was purchased from and that testing has been done on a percentage of the batch that resturaunt/store has recieved. They should not be allowed to sell any seafood that is at risk of having those chemicals or actually does. The FDA could do a few things to improve measures with out increasing costs such as produce fish to be eaten here in the U.S. and stop buying them from overseas. They could also research more where the fish are being bought from. If sea food keeps being grown the way it is now, soon we will not be able to eat it without getting sick.

Chain Smoking Toddler

When I watched the video, all I could think of was all the problems the world has. The world is slowly becoming more, and more corrupt. Toddlers smoking? It makes me think, what's next? Toddlers as young as two years old smoking is a tragedy. These kids are harming themselves at such a young age, it's unrealistic. Obviously the enviorment these children are in is unsafe and there is no followed laws. The government needs to take more control over what is happening. The environment is currently very harmful. I recconmend that in or to change this behavior many legal action are neccessary to be put down. There should be a minimal age that you can buy ciggarettes and that law should be enforced at all times. There is laws like this in the U.S. and you do not see toddlers smoking in the streets so obviously it is working. I also think parents should be more aware what there children are doing and make sure they are no smoking. I honestly don't believe that this will become a problem in this country. At the rate this world is going possibly in the next century however I can't really see it happening in the U.S. We and children in the United States have many restrictions and our society is completely different. In indonesia, toddlers smoking seems to be a way of life. In the U.S. that would be an absolute outrage.
