         <description><![CDATA[<div>Link: <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2018/03/06/news/companies/mcdonalds-quarter-pounder-beef/index.html">http://money.cnn.com/2018/03/06/news/companies/mcdonalds-quarter-pounder-beef/index.html</a><br><br>Starting from May of this year, McDonald's will be substituting frozen patties for fresh beef. This is part of an extensive campaign to make food more healthy, especially for the children. I believe this article is important because fast food is such a significant portion of our food palette nowadays. The resulting &nbsp;obesity epidemic has brought the issue of healthy eating to our attention, and has stimulated creation of stricter guidelines across the board. </div>]]></description>

The ratings for the Oscars this year were very low. I believe this article is important because it serves as a wake up call for Hollywood to stop constantly trying to bring politics into everything, such as events like the Oscars. The public does not like it, and it just hurts the liberal numbers which is the opposite of what was intended.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said that he would not force players to stand for the national anthem. This is important because the Texans owner said that he would not be interested in signing players that kneeled for the anthem. Many people are divided on this issue, and it is important to show that one owner shows respect for the players' decisions to voice their opinions.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Cloning Your Dog Is a Bad Idea</title>

Pet cloning reinforces the status of dogs as things to buy and collect, and as sentimental tokens and emotional support objects. Dogs should be valued for their individuality and own personality. However, instead, humans are preserving because of our feelings of them. This is unhealthy for both the owners and dogs, and does not show the truth of saying good-bye.</div>]]></description>
