Chapter 2:  Some analysts believe that the world’s remaining hunter-gatherer societies should be given title to the land on which they and their ancestors have lived for centuries and should be left alone by civilization.  They content that we have created protective reserves for endangered species, so why not create protective reserves for cultures?  What do you think?  Explain.

I believe that the hunter-gartherer societies and other cultures like it are entitled to the land that their ancestors lived on.  It has been theirs for centuries and I believe that it should not have been taken away from them.  It makes it much more special for them to hunt on their ancestors land because they know whose footsteps they are following.  It would make everyone happy. 

Chapter 4:  Why could the total amount of animal flesh on the earth never exceed the total amount of plant flesh, even if all animals are vegetarians?

The reason that all the animal flesh would never exceed the amount of plant flesh is because in order for the animals to be alive, it would take more plant flesh to keep the animal alive.  Therefore it could take five pounds of plant flesh to achieve one pound of animal flesh.  Also when an animal decomposes it helps to grow more plants.  If a plant dies and decomposes it will also help to grow more plants.  So due to both points the animal flesh could never outweight the plant flesh.
