Forks over knives movie 1. Do you feel that eliminating all "animal-based foods" is the solution to reverse and prevent the chronic diseases that afflict most Americans and other industrialized nations?

2. Do you feel that government agencies, like the USDA, promote eating an animal-based diet? Why or why not?

3. Given this "sudden epidemic" of obesity in America within the last 30 years, do you feel the main cause of our "growing nation" is due to an animal-based diet, increased consumption of processed foods and refined sugars, or a decline in physical activity?

4. Do you feel the success of the patients was due to a) the increased amount of fruits/vegetables and plants or b) the elimination of meats or c) a combination of both? Why? Use information we've learned in class to justify your answer.

5. What part of the movie really stood out to you (good or bad) and why? Be very specific. This is where you show me you paid attention to the entire documentary.

Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. in some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. if these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. this would be an example of the founder effect artificial selection genetic drift natural selection sexual selection
