My three op-ed articles.

Not-so-sleepless in Seattle-or anything else
This article was quite interesting to read about because the media is saying that a average person gets about six to seven hours of sleep per night, when in reality it comes to around seven to even more than eight hours of sleep per night. However, it does not always matter about the quantity of sleep, what matters is the quality of sleep people get per night. Many factors can contribute to the quality of sleep, but if a specific individual receives enough hours, then they are more likely to function well throughout their day. I would agree on this because I have ranged from only getting six to about nine hours of sleep and everyday is different to me.

Calorie Count Disclosure And The Health Care Bill: Will This Lead To A Food Revolution?
Every now and then people crave the salty and delicious taste of fast food, who doesn't? I know I do! A new law that was being put into the health care bill is that restaurant's, with more then twenty locations, must have the nutrition information on the wrapping or the package of the food. This provides for the consumer what exactly their putting into their bodies. Many people believe that this will help people understand what they are eating and hopefully make better choices in the future. I believe this is a good idea because when I get a burger from Wendy's or a taco from Taco Bell, I am always curious into how many calories there are, and also how many grams of fat. I am a curious person, so it will be interesting to see.

Look beyond the fat
As I was reading this article, I was thinking a lot about myself and the ways I would go to not become overweight. But then again it is not all about the fat! Unfortunately, America is extremely overweight, and it had said that around six million people are about one hundred pounds overweight. These numbers are too high and it is scary to think about what is going to happen in the future, if the numbers do increase! However there are many contributors to the obesity rate. This can include the fast food industries, Internet and how now a days people can do anything from the comfort of their home and computer. Not all Americans are lazy though! There are a lot of emotional, psychological, and genetic factors the contribute to people's obesity. I just know how to make the right decisions for myself and everyone is different from each other.
