History of cheese
Long before kings and queens, before people made things out of clay and wrote things down, and before people had metal tools and weapons, there was cheese! Way back in 8000 BCE, people who lived in the Fertile Crescent started making cheese. They were farmers who had sheep and goats, and they would get milk from them. When the milk was left out in the warm air for a while, it would start to get sour and clumpy. The farmers figured out that they could eat the clumps, which were called curds. They could also drain the liquid part, which was called whey. The curds were the start of cheese! People could eat cheese instead of drinking milk because it had less lactose, which is a sugar that some people can't digest well. Cheese was really important because it could be saved for later and eaten during times when there wasn't much food. People in Mesopotamia, which was a big city a long time ago, loved cheese so much that they wrote down how much cheese they had and what kinds of cheese they had. Cheese was really good for people because it had lots of important things like protein, fat, and minerals.

What if all insects suddenly disappeared?
Insect are arthropod invertebrates that belong to the class Pancrustacea. They make up the largest group in the phylum Arthropoda. Insects have an exoskeleton made of chitin, a body with three distinct parts (head, thorax, and abdomen), three pairs of legs that are jointed, compound eyes, and a single pair of antennae. Unlike other animals, insects have some blood that circulates in an open cavity known as haemocoel and is not completely enclosed in vessels. The insect group is the most varied, comprising of over a million species and more than half of all living organisms known to humankind. It is estimated that there are around six to ten million species of insects, potentially making up over 90% of animal life on earth. Though insects can be found in almost all environments, only a small number of species live in oceans. Research shows that insects are nested within another arthropod group, crustaceans, which dominate marine ecosystems.

In defense of Duolingo
I have been loving foreign languages since I was a child. It all started when I began learning basic English in elementary school, then I added French in middle school (it was more of an obligation than a choice, but I’m still grateful for the opportunity). In high school, I started German, my favorite language. When I graduated, I had reached C1 level in English, B2/C1 level in French and B1 level in German.

Certain types of fish that you should avoid eating
Let's discuss the benefits and potential risks of consuming fish. Fish is a rich source of vital nutrients, including protein and omega-3, which promote a healthy heart and overall well-being. However, not all types of fish are equal in terms of nutritional value, and selecting the wrong kind could have negative consequences. It's important to be aware of the best options available when purchasing fish. Additionally, we'll identify a type of fish that is frequently featured on restaurant menus and can live up to 150 years, but we advise against consuming it due to the accumulation of toxins over time. Toxins can have a detrimental impact on both the body and brain once they enter the bloodstream. Before we delve deeper, we ask that you remain with us to learn about two heart-healthy gifts that you will love. Tilapia, a commonly consumed fish in the United States, should be consumed with caution due to its high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio.
