I NEED HELP PLEASEEEE!!!

New guidelines were recently published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to improve the way people eat. Recommendations include lowering salt intake, eating less sugar and saturated fats, and eating more fruits and vegetables. These guides have come out every 5 years, but though they are developed by reputable scientists, the public virtually ignores them. Countless studies have linked overeating and sedentary lives with multiple diseases and increased medical costs. Even with high-profile figures like Michelle Obama leading the fight for healthier lifestyles, the old habits die hard.
The need to shift to healthier eating is more urgent now than ever. Weight problems are epidemics in the United States, as is the equally pressing problem of undernourishment. For example, people today eat far too much salt. This salt addiction has been proven to increase the risk for heart disease and stroke, as well as other costly and life-threatening illnesses. The new guidelines give specific recommendations regarding how much daily salt is healthy. However, it's doubtful whether Americans will heed the advice. They'd rather watch cable TV and eat French fries than make changes that would likely prolong their lives.
Thankfully, the USDA has become proactive in changing the way we Americans eat. Most people are familiar with the famous food pyramid the agency developed years ago, showing the food groups and servings of each group. However, the agency's guidelines go far beyond the colorful posters hanging in schools across the nation. School meal programs are impacted by the document, as are decisions about the labeling of foods and how foods are marketed to young people. In particular, by using the guidelines to target school breakfast and lunch programs, the USDA hopes to make healthy foods an easy alternative for kids. Clearly, adults cannot be counted on to make healthy eating a priority. With the USDA's help, school kids will get started early on a lifetime of good diet habits.

I look at the world
From awakening eyes in a black face —
And this is what I see:
This fenced-off narrow space
Assigned to me.
I look then at the silly walls
Through dark eyes in a dark face —
And this is what I know:
That all these walls oppression builds
Will have to go!
I look at my own body
With eyes no longer blind —
And I see that my own hands can make
The world that's in my mind.
Then let us hurry, comrades,
The road to find.

Read the poem.

A March in the Ranks Hard-Prest, and the Road Unknown
from Drum-Taps
by Walt Whitman

A march in the ranks hard-prest, and the road unknown,
A route through a heavy wood with muffled steps in the darkness,
Our army foil’d with loss severe, and the sullen remnant retreating,
Till after midnight glimmer upon us the lights of a dim-lighted
building,
We come to an open space in the woods, and halt by the
dim-lighted building,
‘Tis a large old church at the crossing roads, now an impromptu
hospital,
Entering but for a minute I see a sight beyond all the pictures and
poems ever made,
Shadows of deepest, deepest black, just lit by moving candles
and lamps,
And by one great pitchy torch stationary with wild red flame and
clouds of smoke,
By these, crowds, groups of forms vaguely I see on the floor, some
in the pews laid down,
At my feet more distinctly a soldier, a mere lad, in danger of
bleeding to death, (he is shot in the abdomen,)
I stanch the blood temporarily, (the youngster’s face is white as a lily,)
Then before I depart I sweep my eyes o’er the scene fain to absorb it all,
Faces, varieties, postures beyond description, most in obscurity,
some of them dead,
Surgeons operating, attendants holding lights, the smell of ether,
the odor of blood,
The crowd, O the crowd of the bloody forms, the yard outside
also fill’d,
Some on the bare ground, some on planks or stretchers, some in the
death-spasm sweating,
An occasional scream or cry, the doctor’s shouted orders or calls,
The glisten of the little steel instruments catching the glint of
the torches,
These I resume as I chant, I see again the forms, I smell the odor,
Then hear outside the orders given, Fall in, my men, fall in;
But first I bend to the dying lad, his eyes open, a half-smile gives he me,
Then the eyes close, calmly close, and I speed forth to the darkness,
Resuming, marching, ever in darkness marching, on in the ranks,
The unknown road still marching.

In “A March in the Ranks Hard-Prest, and the Road Unknown,” readers can infer the speaker is shocked by the scene he encounters when his troop stops at the church.

Which lines from the poem support this inference?


“Entering but for a minute I see a sight beyond all the pictures and poems ever made,”

“We come to an open space in the woods, and halt by the dim-lighted building,”

“Till after midnight glimmer upon us the lights of a dim-lighted building,”

“‘Tis a large old church at the crossing roads, now an impromptu hospital,”
