In this article, the author talks a lot about our bodies and how we digest food. He notes that the food labels we see on everyday food items are based on 19th-century laboratory experiments that weren’t able to include certain variables in their research. These variables included things such as the evolution of the food itself, the processing of the food such as cooking, and the amount of energy it takes for a particular person’s body to break it down. Some plants, for example, have evolved to become more appetizing to animals or to avoid digestion altogether ...

Ex-offenders are largely stigmatized in almost every society. They are looked down upon even after completing their sentence and trying to return back to a normal life. The reason why this happens is because people are adamant on believing that a person who once commits a crime can never redeem their former selves and become sincere members of society like the rest of the people. Moreover, others fear that they cannot be trusted as they will redo their crime if they get the chance. This makes them avoid ex-offenders, and this discrimination persists for quite some time which makes ...

Article Summary

First, Perry explores what is noted as "the visual image of black women in hip-hop [over the last 20 years and] how this has rapidly deteriorated" (p.296). It seems as though at the turn of the 20th century, hip-hop started down a path that it has not been able to proverbially recover from. This is due in part to the fact that misogynist perspectives have been on the rise for a number of years, and the genre has only served to highlight the disturbing dynamics associated with this conception. Perry notes that "this use of black women in the ...
