Current Events QTR 2 Week 5: New homeowner may have found body of previous owner in foreclosed home

                                                                   


A man in St. Petersburg Florida found the body of his house's previous owner. He found the remains inside a car in his garage. He had bought the foreclosed house not long before discovering the body. Major Andrew Walters said they don't know how long the body has been deceased or cause of death. The body is believed to a woman.
I think that this story is very creepy. I wouldn't want to go back to the house becuase there was a dead body there. I feel very bad for whoever this is and there family. The cops need to go throught a thorough search and find out how this person was killed. It could have been a murder! Youe don't know! I haven't seen this on the news yet but look forward to findig out more.

Current Events: QRT 2 Week 3: Twinkie Diet Helps Nutrition Professer Lose 27 Pounds

                                                                          

Have you ever heard of a Twinkie Diet? Professer Mark Haub went on a 2 month "Twinkie Diet" and lost 27 pounds! But his diet also consisted of Little Debbies, Doritos, Twinkies, sugary cereal, and Oreos.After 2 months his body mass index went from 28.8 to "over weight" to 24.9 "normal". Haubs bad cholesteral dropped 20% and his good cholersteral wentt up 20%. But Mark does not want anybody else to try this diet due to increase in cancer risks.
I think that this diet was true and very affective. But becuase all of the risks that you are taking you probally shouldn't try it. If these snacks are supossed to be unhealthy then they should not be put forward like this. I don't think that this diet was origanally planned to help your body but ended up helping more than he realized. You probally shouldn't promote this kind of eating seeing on how America is dealing with countless cases of childhood obesity.
