Read the excerpt from "The Hidden Costs of Eating Meat" by Dave McCaul. Which sentence in this excerpt contains supporting data?
Vegetarians often cite a concern for the welfare of animals when they explain their choice to avoid eating meat. However, the humane
treatment of animals is just one of the many motivations behind the vegetarian lifestyle. A lesser known benefit of vegetarianism is that it is
more responsible for our environment than eating meat. Thus, meat eaters who care about the welfare of the planet should seriously consider
choosing vegetarian alternatives.
Among the hidden environmental costs of eating meat is water waste. Many people fail to consider that it takes a lot of water to raise cattle.
Much of this water is used to irrigate the pastures where cows graze. Given the tremendous amount of grass that cows consume, the water use
adds up. According to a study conducted by the Water Education Foundation, 1 pound of California beef requires 2.464 gallons of water.
Consumers should ponder this tradeoff before deciding to purchase a pound of ground beef at the grocery store.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

no it is not a sin or wrong to be gay. you can be whoever you want just dont hurt anybody or kill anybody. god gave us freewill so we could do whatever we want and be whoever they want to be. all those other people who think gay is bad they are wrong, they can love whoever they want longs they don't hurt or kill each other.

being gay is not a sin or wrong. if you are gay then you have our support and love. cause lets face it, love is love and no bully will ever stop us from being who we are. we are human and we can be different. being different is what makes us humans.

its okay to be gay everyone.
