Mad Cow Disease     What is mad cow disease? You might ask. The film Fresh let me know there is a disease name mad cow disease also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), this disease exists in a cow's brain affects their nervous system that would make the cow act different than other cows. The cow that has BSE might act nervous or wild. Mad cows jump out of control or cannot walk level on the ground.      Mad cow disease doesn't only affect cows, it can also transfer to other cattle and people. People get BSE to have symptoms like loss of memory, unusual behavior, mobility issue, depression, and so on.   The first outbreak in The United States was in December 2003, with people's panic and worry, the beef market dropped big.       Even though it happens rarely, but how do we prevent getting BSE? Before telling you how to avoid the disease, we should know about the cause of the disease.  The reason that mad cow disease develops in cows was found by scientist Leech

There is a man, a woman, and a child sitting on the woman's lap, looks like a family. All of them are thin like the whole body only has the skin and bones with two round eyeballs are going to pop out because not enough muscles can support them staying in their eyes. They don't have any hair on their head because there isn't enough nutrition for the hair to grow. What they wearing looks like a piece of cloth they can find wrapping around their body.

 Egg Fry Rice Recipe      Today I am going to teach you guys how to make an authentic egg fried rice. I have lived in China for 14 years, and I work at a Chinese restaurant for about two years. I am someone to trust if you want to make a real egg fry rice.      Egg fried rice a meal that almost every Chinese knows how to make. Egg fried rice is easy to cook, tastes good, able to provide you many nutritions for the day, and it is perfect to have as a breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  Rice is the first thing you need to make egg fried rice, you can use brown rice or white rice, but I prefer white rice because it tastes so much better than brown rice.

Fresh      The film Fresh is a documentary film that shows people about the issue of agriculture and how farmers are trying to change the food production system.      I am a student that have never know much about the food production process and never thought I would have a chance to know more about it. After watching this documentary Fresh, I understood much more about where are my foods coming from, what are people working in the agriculture field done to produce a massive amount of food for Americans, and how are people working in the agriculture field accomplished those works.      The purpose of this video is to let people know what we are eating and where those foods come from. Many Americans are unfamiliar with the productions of the foods they eat. They don't know how much it takes for all the farmers and workers to bring all those safe, packaged food in the grocery stores. This is a very educational film for most Americans because most Americans don't work at a farm, t
