Chocolate Chip Cookies Roy McKenzie L.A. 6° February 26 1997 Whoever in here likes chocolate chip cookies STAND UP! Well, I like them too. The story of the Chocolate chip cookie is really an interesting one. In fact, did you know that the invention itself was really an accident? Nope, well, I didn't think so. Let me tell you a little about it. Have you ever wondered how the chocolate chip cookie came to be? Have you ever wondered who brought this American tradition into our homes? Do you know how they became so popular? Well, it all started one day with a young lady named Ruth Wakefield. One day she was making some cookies for her guests. They were called Butter Drop Do's. This cookie required semisweet chocolate pieces to be melted in the batter. Well she was in a hurry, she had beds to make and drapes to clean so, instead of melting the chocolate pieces in the batter she just chopped them up in the batter, thinking they would melt during the cooking process. To her surprise they stayed very much intact See what happens when you do not follow the directions? Well, never the less everyone at the Toll House Inn simply loved them. In fact, they became so popular the recipe was published in the Boston Newspaper. The recipe was named the Toll House Cookie. One day Nestlé was going over their reports and they found that sales for chocolate bars rose rapidly in the Boston area. This was because the chocolate bars were the primary ingredient in the Toll House Cookies. When Nestlé found out what was up they started making their chocolate bars with score lines on them for easier breaking. This was ok but still not easy enough. So to solve this problem they made morsels (miniature chocolate kisses)and bought the Toll House name. With that they called them Nestlé Toll House Morsels. Did you also know that the chocolate chip cookie is the most popular cookie in America? The Toll House produces thirty-three thousand cookies each

Milton Hershey began his chocolate making business in 1893, when his father and him traveled to Chicago to attend a big job fair (Tarshis 14), but it wasn’t until 1900 when Hershey succeed in making the first milk chocolate candy bar (The Hershey Company). Hershey attended an exhibit hall of new and amazing inventions around the world at the fair in Chicago.

At the fair in Chicago, Hershey Bought chocolate-making equipment. He had it shipped back to his caramel factory in Pennsylvania. Then he hired two chocolate makers. Soon the company was churning out chocolate candies in more than 100 shapes” (Tarshis 15).
Estimates are that at the turn of the twentieth century over two million wild horses roamed free in the western United States. However, having no protection from their primary predator, man, by the 1970’s there numbers had dwindled to less than thirty thousand. In 1971, after a massive public uproar, Congress by a unanimous vote enacted the “Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act” (Act) that characterizes wild horses and burros as national treasures and provides for their protection.

The underlying issue of wild horses is the overpopulation of a particular species, which is contributing a serious ecological disaster, overgrazing. The degradation of the land has a domino effect, which will lead to more issues. It is important to maintain a balance between the need of the species, and what is healthy or the environment. The issue created controversy, is central to the passing of laws, and creates an opportunity for the government and the community to work together. There are many way to solve the issue of the wild horses and the issue that are created due to their existence. Issues such as a reduction in the number of the horses removed from the range.

Coevolutionary divergence among sympatric species, such as elk and mule deer, created the idea of resource partitioning resulting from interspecific competition. Traditionally, resource partitioning was evaluated by species temporal avoidance, spatial separation and dietary differences (Stewart et al. 2010). Six different outputs influence mule deer behavior; density of roads, quality of forage, quantity of forage, quality of cover, quantity of cover and interactions between livestock, elk and mule deer (Edge et al. 1990). Habitat choice by mule deer can be a result of direct and indirect competition with elk and livestock, influencing their distribution and population (Edge et al, 1990, Long et al. 2008). Another form of competition is interference

When Ruth Graves Wakefield accidentally invented the chocolate chip cookie in the early 1937 she couldn't have known just how successful her accident would become. Working as a dietitian until 1930, she and her husband bought a tourist lodge in Whitman, Massachusetts called the Toll House Inn. One day, while making chocolate cookies Wakefield realized that she was out of baking chocolate. Instead she substituted with a bar of semisweet Nestle chocolate. However, the chopped up Nestle bar did not melt and mix into the batter as baking chocolate does. Instead the pieces of chocolate had only softened. Her new creation, which she called the Toll House Crunch Cookie became wildly popular. The Nestle Company later went on to print her cookie recipe
