Walking On

I have read some of Thoreau's other writtings and liked them but this reading was a little to extreme. While I do believe that some wildlife should be preserved, this world that we are living in is growing rapidly and we need the room to expand. Preserving every tree would be pointless. The one thing I do completely agree with that Thoreau says is that people just eat to eat. Obseity is a topic that does not get much publicity even though it is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. especially. I think that not only writters but anyone in any kind of spotlight need to be promoting healthy eating and a more healty lifestyle.
