Inside the cat and dog meat market in China

This article was about China’s cat and dog markets. NO, it’s not a pet store, it’s a meat store. Some people say it’s good to eat dog meat and cat meat, because it makes you sweat, and others say it’s a cruel thing and should be banned, showing that China has reached a new level of civilization, and the government has been considering this, coming to the conclusion that there should be a law that bans this. The officials have been warning market vendors to stop selling it, and anyone who sells it will spend 15 days in prison and will have to pay a fine of $73,500. Some people raise their own dogs and cats, but others are probably stolen pets and strays. That’s why it’s important to consider that pets are loyal friends and not food.

This article was about a Harvard chemistry professor trying to shrink a medical lab to the size of a penny. This technology, says George Whitesides(the chemistry teacher) will be able to diagnose diseases like HIV, tuberculosis, malaria and other diseases, and these products will be ready in about a year, he says. He gets his designs from m comic books and assures us that they are cheap. The way they work is that the patient puts a drop of blood on one side of the paper, and on the other appears a colorful pattern in the shape of a tree, which tells pros whether the person is infected or not. The paper chips could be used in phones, since they have become widely popular.
A lot of people think that if Whiteside’s work does work, this could be a huge hit, because nowadays people are looking for cheap, working ways to medicine.
