Burger King is Thinking a Bit More Morally

! Burger King is getting a tad more humane! The World’s second-biggest burger chain on Wednesday pledged that their eggs and pork will come from cage-free chickens and pigs. Animal welfare activist were looking to get livestock out of cages. Burger King is the first major US fast-food chain to give all of its chickens and pigs some room to roam. Eggs and pork producers have argued that easing confinement standers for animals raises production coasts and makes those who adjust their practices less completive. Stupid meat producers.

"So many tens of thousands of animals will now be in better living conditions," said Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States, which has been pushing Burger King and other companies to adopt similar policies. "Numerically, this is significant because Burger King is such a big purchaser of these products."

Shouldn't Government Representatives be able to promote their beliefs and causes?

A cake was baked into the shape of a African woman on Wednesday as Lena (minister) cut into it. Makode Linde is the artist who designed the cake and is from African descent. This cake was aimed at making a point and creating awareness about practice of female genital mutilation. The artist was the “head” of the cake and screamed as it was being cut into. People say that it was uncomfortable and wrong for a government rep. to be doing. The artist says,” I didn't intend for anyone to feel singled out or embarrassed," he said. "But we're talking about female genital mutilation -- is there any comfortable or cozy way to talk about it?" Lena has a meeting with the National Association for Afro-Swedes and the group will be planning her step down and giving up her title. The minister says the cake was designed as a statement against racism. Critics say otherwise.

“The Actual Inter of the piece- And MAkode Linde’s artistry- is to challenge the traditional image of racism, abuse, and oppression through provocation. It is perfectly obvious that my role as a minister differs from that of the artists. Provocation cannot and should not be an expression for those who have the trust and responsibility of Government representative.”

Kidney=Ipad?

How far would you go to get an Ipad? How about sell one of your organs? A 17-year-old boy joined an online chat room and sold his kidney. The buyer paid $3,500. The kidney was then used in an illegal transplant. There is 6000 people every year the dye from lack of kidney doctors. The teen is not suffering from renal deficiency ( inability of the kidney to excrete metabolites at normal plasma levels under normal loading, or inability to retain electrolytes when intake is normal; in the acute form, marked by uremia and usually by oliguria, with hyperkalemia and pulmonary edema. AKA bad.) and his health is declining at a rapid pace. But he has his Ipad.

The Hungry Games

Hunger Games cast finds irony in title while starving on set. Investigators claim that the producers were afraid of the 10lb weight gain the camera puts on. Jennifer while training was told to lose 40lb and make more muscles. The producers and director also say they wanted a more realistic feel of pain by having the actors starve and beg for food. The actors say they were actually fighting for their lives and it helped them really dive into their character. There were only 3 fatalities and a couple trips to the emergency room. Investigators state that this was not a very moral way of making a movie even though they really enjoyed watching it.
