ReplyDeleteDEBUNKING THE FIVE-SECOND RULE
ReplyDeleteThe five- second rule says if one piece of food falls to the ground, you can eat it only if it isn’t more than five seconds on the floor. This rule is false, you can’t eat the food that was on the floor. Because no matter how short of time the food was on the floor, it will always be contaminated. You must throw away the food. It doesn’t work if you can blow the food. The bacteria can survive that.
This rule was created by Genghis Khan (Mongol leader) in the 12th century. In 1963, people started to think they would be able to eat the food to “save it”. At that time, the people couldn’t know the true, but they were able to know it later in the years.

"Debunking the five-second rule"
ReplyDeleteThe five-second rule is a lie. You can’t think that if some food falls on the floor, something doesn’t stick to it, there are germs everywhere and scientist could verify it. The culprit for this rule was Genghis Khan, a Mongol leader of the 12th century. I can’t believe that this rule has lasted through time until today because many people can really believe it. The microbiologist Donald W. Schaffner is able to teach us the truth thanks to two-years study. Foods that are wetter can attract bacteria more, so foods like fruits can’t fall of you. If you continue to believe this silly rule, you could easily get sick.

"300 Spartans were able to win against 1 million Persians?"
ReplyDeleteSo the story tells that 300 Spartan where able to fight against an army of 1 million Persians and yet, they win the fight and could hold off the army and safe Sparta from invasion. Is this crazy story real? Leonidas, the famous Spartan king in that age, took a small force of 300 combat combat-hardened veterans, but they weren’t the only ones to face this terrible invasion. These veterans were with other 300 slaves that battled with them, and so, they also relied on 700 warriors from Thespiae (another Greek city) and 440 from Thebes (Greek city, too) to fill their ranks. Also, the Persians forces of the Xerxe’s emperor where about of only 100,00 or 300,000 warriors, not a million people. But where did this lie comes? Greeks where known for telling incredible stories about themselves, so is not a surprise to know that Herodotus told that the Persian army was really huge. But Persians where still 100 warriors per Greek warrior, so how could they hold them? The reality is that they were using a secret path. When Persian discovered it, the Spartan warriors where lost. They fought with everything they had, still, they lost the fight. The fight of Thermopylae was a really bad lost for Greece, bust later, they managed to fought back the Persian forces and defeated them. They send them eastward at the Battles of Salamis and Plataea in 479 B.C.

Debunking the five-second rule.
ReplyDeleteThis “rule” says that if food falls on the floor, you can eat it before five seconds pass, but this rule is false, you can’ t eat this food. This food have a lot of bacterias, no matter how long it is been on the floor. The rule was created in the 12th-century by a Mongol leader. You mustn’ t believe in this rule, scientits have proven that doesn’ t work. If you drop food on the floor you don’ t have to ingest it, you need to throw it away. In the 20th-century, people think they can save the food that fall in the floor washing it and blowing it, but that doesn’ t work, they would know it over the years. Finally, you should forget this rule and remember, you haven´ t to eat it.

Debunking the five-second rule.
ReplyDeleteI think the five second rule is a little misleading, because it´s true that in that time the food must have bacteria or an other infection of the floor. However, for me it´s depends on the type of floor the food falls on, if it´s a dirty place, you don´t have to collect and eat, but, if the food falls into a space that is not contaminated, you should get out and see if it´s with something suspicious. Finally, you need to follow your instinct when you check the food, you must be very secure to eat it and obviously, if it´s more tan five seconds on the floor, you definitely mustn´t eat it and you should throw into a dump.

Can 300 Spartans defeat one million of Persians?
ReplyDeleteIn the ancient Greece around the years 500 B.C, the Persians used to have problems with the Greeks. King Darius invaded in the 492 B.C what today is Greece, in the first of two campaigns he couldn’t defeat the Greeks and in the second one he also couldn’t get the victory.
King Xerxes successor and son of King Darius continue with the aspiration of his father, he must defeat the Greeks to honor his progenitor. So he was able to gather an army of 200,000 soldiers and starts his way to Mount Olympus. After a few months they were finally able to reach in August the Mount.
Unfortunately Spartans held their Carneia and Olympics during this month, both events shouldn´t be canceled because of it would offend the gods. So only 300 Spartans were able to fight but they ask for help to others allays. Finally the fight was 5,500 men against 200,000 Persians. Leonidas who leaders the Spartan troops couldn’t defeat the Persian army, although they were capable of stops them and a few months leather the Greek forces could defeat once again the Persians and send them back home.

I chose the news about the 5 seconds rule, this new talks about the origin of this rule, who invented it. Genghis Khan invented it, he was a Mongol leader and he said that all the food that he can eat or were prepared for him, was good enough for his company, that his company was able to eat it.
ReplyDeleteBut then, Julia Child, she was in her show called The French Chef, and she was cooking a potato pancake, while she was trying to flip the pancake, it fell in the stovetop. But she said, the show must go on, so she ended up eating the pancake. And that could give her a transmission of bacteria.
But then, in the year 2016, two scientists, Donald W. Schaffner and Robyn C. Miranda, they did a two-year study where they compare different types of food that they dropped into different types of floor. And that way they can be able to conclude that no matter how many time was the food on the floor, it was no free of germens. So, we can conclude that we must not, and we can’t eat food that has been on the floor, because it could be a bad decision.

Debuking the five-second rule
ReplyDeleteBefore I read the text, I already had a clear opinion about this topic. This “rule” says if any aliment falls to the floor you could eat it if It stayed less than five seconds there. In my opinion, this rule is ridiculous. Even though it’s proven that if any food stays on the floor the numbers of bacteria increases, the truth is that in the first contact with the floor, the food ends up full of bacteria. When something like this happens you could eat that anyway but you could get sick because of the bacterias you could eat. So you should make the right decision, don’t eat the contaminated food.
Dubunking the five second rule
ReplyDeleteThis rule was created in the 12th century by a Mongol leader and was called "Khan Rule". People belived they could eat the food that fell on the floor. Years later, in 1963, after and insident in a cooking program people began to belive that if one piece of food fall to the ground you can eat it only if it haven't been on the floor more than five seconds. This rule can't be true because even after a second has passed the bacteria on the floor can stick to the food, so you don't have to believe in this rule. Two scientists, Donald W. Schaffner and Robyn C. Miranda are able to convince you that this rule is false through an experiment they did. Bacteria can more easily contaminate wet food but this doesn't mean that it cannot contaminate other food.

It is said that during the persian invasion of Greece around 480 BC. 300 warriors of sparta were able to succesfully hold their possition against an overwhelming force of 1 million persians. But did this really happened? This fight indeed, happened, just not a epic as it is told, 300 vs 1 million could never be possible, that is 3 thousands persians per spartans. In reality there were a tenth of persians. The spartans number is not very well known, as they were allied with athenians and other greek forces to a an aproximate amount of 7000, still they where outnumbered. Although they were able hold the persians because they had the territorial advantage, they couldn't win against them and had to retreat.
ReplyDeleteWhen i first heard about this I was amazed by how the spartans were able to accomplish this, but after learning a bit more of this ''legend'', I was kind of let down, but still, they could hold and overwhelming enemy. I think that one of the main reasons they could achieve this is that the Greeks had the geographical advantage.
Despite being a story with historical inaccuracies, I think it can still be told they way it is, as a simple legend, entertaining, etc. But it should be noticed that it is inaccurate. The 'true'
version can be used in military lessons as it was a real stratagy that worked.
"Debunking the five-second rule"
ReplyDeleteThis rule has been know since the time of Genghis Khan, he said that you can eat any food that felt on the floor, no matter how long was there. All our lives we have believed this rule, but it´s completely false, scientists were able to verify that no matter how fast you rescue food that´s fallen on the floor, bacteria can contaminate it instantaneously. Also, they found out different factors that determine the amount of bacteria, for example, the consistency of the food, the texture of the surface ande the time on the ground. Besides, they could discover that watermelon was the riskiest. Anyway this rule persist untill today, but you have to stop doing it, you could have done it in the past, however you can´t keep doing it, it´s important for your healthy.
