The article "Of the Cannibals" from Michel Eyquem de Montaigne speaks about two major problems. The first one is the problem of men telling stories subjectively instead of objectively.

Johnston begins his article by telling a story about a habitat filled with many different species such as: fish, birds, insects and other wildlife. Then, Johnston continues to introduce a cannibalistic mythical creature called weendigoes, who feed on human flesh to try to satisfy his never-ending hunger.

Life in early Jamestown was very difficult. Cannibalism played a big part of it, as it illustrated the harshness of the Starving Time of the duration of the winter of 1609-10. “A few Colonists faced truly life-threatening difficulties as they were desperate and were driven to cannibalism. It was an ironic situation in some sorts since early explorers had speculated that only the Native Americans would eat human flesh”.

Others dig up the graves to eat the corpses. By springtime only sixty remain left alive.” Historians mainly accepted the fact that cannibalism had taken place in Jamestown: they

Obesity, or being overweight, is a common problem today. Walk down any street in America and a large majority of people seen will be overweight or obese. Obesity is determined by a measure of body mass index (BMI), which is an indicator of fat content in the body. The BMI score can be obtained by dividing weight in pounds (multiplied by 703) by height in inches squared. A BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight while a BMI of 30 or more indicates that one is obese. Being overweight affects nearly one third of the population of the United States, with another one third obese, and a portion of those are considered morbidly obese (a BMI of 40 or more). This statistic includes adults, adolescents, and school-aged children. Glassman, Glassman,

The character was played at different roles, different religions to portrait the idea of the diversity of humankind.

Actually, thinking more, I wouldn't mind someone eating me, if it was a matter of life and death and if they didn't actually kill me achieve this.

So, on that basis, and with some difficulty - having recently said that I would never eat a primate - and knowing that I would have to be very very hungry indeed before I could do it - a qualified

Symptoms of Albinism vary from person to person. Many people think albino and picture pure white hair, the palest skin, and red eyes, but it really depends on the amount of pigment each person has. The skin of a person with the albino mutation is usually paler than most. This causes people with the mutation to be at a higher risk for skin cancers, and they can get sun damage easier than others.
