As children mature, they start to exercise independence in a number of choices, which includes what they are going to eat. Give your readers a balanced, rich survey of the vegetarian choice. Essays present a for-or-against array of information on the topic, starting off with how our anatomy offers clues to what the human diet should be. While one essay states that a vegetarian diet is not healthy, another essay outlines its health benefits. One essay states that it's possible to be a conscientious carnivore while another states there is no such thing as guilt-free meat. Solutions, such as laboratories that grow meat are also debated. The global impact of this dietary choice is examined, giving readers much to consider while exercising their right to choose what they eat.
With a bullet lodged in his tail and the imperial cipher of a crowned letter N burnt on his left flank, a diminutive Arab stallion drew crowds to Pall Mall, London, in 1823. Sightseers came to gaze at the horse advertised as Bonaparte's personal charger, whose career had spanned the whole of the Napoleonic Wars, who, to the sound of marching songs had trotted, cantered and galloped from the Mediterranean to Paris, Italy, Germany and Austria, and at the age of 19, had walked 3000 miles to Moscow and back. Since then, both dead and alive, this horse with the same sonorous name as Napoleon's great victory, Marengo, has been a star exhibit in Britain. At London's earliest military museum his articulated skeleton was seen by Queen Victoria and displayed as the horse that had carried his master at Austerlitz in 1805, at Jena in 1806, at Wagram in 1809, in the Russian Campaign of 1812, and at Waterloo in 1815.
