These days, there is a lot of talk about whether you should eat organic foods. Nonorganic produce and meat are often genetically

modified. In other words, different chemicals and hormones are used on those foods to make them bigger. Side effects of consuming genetically modified food have not been studied long term in people. In animals, however, researchers have found that liver problems, tumors, and even death can be side effects of eating genetically modified food.
If that information is not enough to scare you into eating organic foods, consider this fact: organic food contains more nutrients than nonorganic food. For growing kids and adults alike, that is pretty important. As a whole, people do not get enough nutrients in their diets.
Eating organic foods may also reduce your risk for cancer. The Environmental Protection Agency has studied the toxins used on nonorganic foods. They have found that many of these toxins have the potential to cause cancer.
Organic food does cost more than nonorganic food—sometimes a lot more. If you are on a tight budget, consider buying at least some organic foods. Fruits with skin that you can eat—apples, pears, and grapes—are best when they are organic. Any kind of leafy greens, such as lettuce and spinach, are also better when organic. However, items such as bananas and oranges can be organic or nonorganic because you eat only the inside portion of these fruits.
While it is best to switch to an all-organic diet, making even a few changes could bring about great improvement to your health and overall well-being.

Who are the two groups of people Ismael faces danger from?<br> from the book a long way gone
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The two groups of people Ismael faces danger from were the group of muscular men with machetes and crowded village where they stopped on their way.

Explanation:

'A Long Way Gone' is a memoir of Ishmael Beah, a boy soldier during the civil war in Sierra Leone.

In Chapter 8, after roaming around in the forest all alone and encountering with many wild animals, Ishmael was able to come in contact with a group of six children, who like Ishmael were in search of a way out. For Ishmael, the group of these six children were problem because he got accustomed to living all alone. He felt little edgy being around them.

The group of people who were threat to Ishmael were the muscular men with machetes. They were carrying sharp machetes in their hands and Ishmael was afraid and thought how much pain it will cause to be beheaded by machetes. The other group who were threat to Ishmael was the crowded villages where the group of these seven children stopped at. These villagers were so suspicious of these children that they kept their eyes on them, even in night.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provi
igomit [66]

Answer and Explanation:

The preamble begins by including the people in the purposes and objectives that the country wants to achieve with the establishment of the republic. At this point in the text, the authors made a strong appeal to emotion. This is because when they used the expression "We the People" they made the public feel included and united together for a single purpose. This term also reaffirms the responsibility for the equality that was being established in the country.

The commitment to equality is so great that the preamble's authors decided to use a simple diction, with commonly known words, leaving the text direct, objective and logical, allowing absolutely all citizens of the country to understand it, regardless of the level of education that they presented. Despite this, the text presents itself in a very punctual and not at all widespread manner, concisely setting out what it wants to achieve.
