THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

I found some connections between some of the articles of this news paper and food. So this time, I wanna write about the connections which I found.


For Pets, It's Fat Thursday With Pies, Dressing Under the Table

Summary: The season from Thanksgiving holiday to New Year's Day, a dog eat too much not only dog food but also food for human such as turkey and dressing, collard greens and sweet pie. So the dog became fat. This problem was caused by owner's indulging. This tendency ir not good for animals. And actually animal hospitals spike zround this time of year.

I surched why animals should not eat human's food.
At first dog need 14 times calcium as muh as humanity. So dog can take these nutrition effectively when they eat dog food than human's food. If dog eat human's food even some time, they are addicted to human's food, and thay can't stop eating human's food. It leads up to bad effect for their health.

U.N. Says 2015 Likely to Be Warmest Year on Record

Summary: U.N. agency said that the year 2015 is on course to be the warmest on record. It would be the result of the effects of the ElNino weather. The global average surface temperature rose to 14.73 dgrees Celsius.

I think the summer of 2015 is cold compared with recent years. So I don't thin 2015 was not warmest year in Japan. And cold summer affect agriculture on a large scale. Many crops cannot grow up to ship over the country, so the price increase suddenly. And cold summer result in huge damage economucally.

Slow Consumer Spending In U.S. Signals Caution

Summary: U.S. consumer spending grew slowly in October. However they earned much more money compared with other months. Though, rather than spend, Americans socked away more money in October for the year-end. The personal saving rate was 5.6% in October, the highest level since December 2012.

This is my expectation, so there is no reliable imformation. But I think if they spend much less money in life, inevitably, they result in spending less money on food. So I suspect that their dish might less luxurious than usual.
