Hey, Ben!
I liked your post and thought it was well written and clearly explained what is happening in Australia. I liked the part where you talked about why some brush fires are started in your first paragraph. Here is a website I found that talks about more reasons why the fires were started.

Hi Ben,
I thought this post did a great job on educating people about the wildfires. The part about affecting ecosystems as well as humans was interesting. Here is an article I found about the topic. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-australia-bushfires/australian-bushfires-fires-hit-coal-output-conditions-to-worsen-idUSKBN1ZJ2CS
Thanks, Matthew

This is a pretty solid argument, especially the part where you said “…therefore, pulling video games into conversations about white criminals may be using the games as a baseless excuse”. It reminds me of when people blamed the Columbine Shooting on Eminem.

Hi Ben,

I agree with the points you made in the post. The benefits heavily outweigh the risks, and something every parent should do. Here is an interesting article that relates to your post on why vaccines should be given. (https://www.nfid.org/immunization/10-reasons-to-get-vaccinated/)

Thanks,

Hey Ben!
I liked the last sentence of the second paragraph because it makes the claim that not vaccinating your kids is more dangerous. I can understand why parents have concerns about the vaccines, but their only concern should be about the health of their child when they go to school without the flu shot. Here is an article you might find interesting. https://www.publichealth.org/public-awareness/understanding-vaccines/vaccine-myths-debunked/

Hey Ben, I honestly love your article. It goes into great detail of why cows are overworked and it may not be good for the human population to drink Milk. But here’s a URL (https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/farm/dairy/howcanyouhelp) that I found sharing how we as a people can fight this fight. I believe there’s a lot more we can do but it starts with the individual.

Hey Ben Wassup, I thought your article was really well done, but something near the beginning caught me attention. You said some people think milk has an acidy taste. I wondered why this was, and researched the acidity of milk. I found a great source https://www.thoughtco.com/milk-an-acid-or-a-base-607361 which says that milk has a ph of 6.5 to 6.7. This means the milk is slightly acidic, which accounts fo the taste, but is also very close to a neutral, like water, which accounts for why people like milk.

Hello Ben, I very much enjoyed your article Milky Milky Yum Yum Yum. One point that I found interesting was how you talked about the horrible conditions that cows live in to produce more milk.. It is a well known fact that farming is often cruel to the animals that produce food for us, but your point “the world’s demand for milk has risen at the same rate as the world’s population” shows that we need a lot of milk. I would love to see an article from you that shows different ways that milk can be collected in such large quantities without coming with the abuse of the cows that produce it. I’ve read articles about genetically modifying cows to produce more milk or even being able to do so without being impregnated, so maybe in a follow up article you could touch on that idea. Overall this is a great article. 10/10 IGN.

Ben, I agree with your article. Cows have been portrayed as a machine rather than the animal they are. Humans are overly consumin milk from the poor cows, that has caused them the live in inhumane condtions. Therefore what can we do inorder for this to stop? How can we as a society start to see the inhumane care of cows and their production of milk? Int his artcile i found it elaborates on the cruelty of how the aniamals are treated, it is horrible to think that we are part of this, and dont stop it. https://freefromharm.org/dairyfacts/
