    The number of obese children in america is growing every year. Kids are decreasing the amount of exercise they get and increasing food portions. Many studies have been done that prove this leads to heart problems. In a lot of homes in the US today, children are able to sit around and eat as much as they want, and what ever they want. This is a continuing problem because the children will carry this on to their children. Child obesity also leads to mental and emotional problems.

    It is a well known fact that is is the federal law to wear a seatbelt when in a motor vehicle. This is due to the thousands that have died because they didn't wear one and got in an accident somehow. However, many feel that this law violated their personal rights. They are convinced that they should be able to wear one or not wear one. It should be up to them.

    Spitting in public places is disgusting, many Americans agree. Although it is a bodily function and is sometimes necessary, it should be banned in ALL inside public places, and banned also in places like on a sidewalk, or in the parkinglot. Unwanted germs can spread on someones' shoe and get in to their car.

    This article is a bash on the ObamaCare plan. It states that in places like Massachussetts and Maine the taxpayers are paying 20 percent more than they used to because they are also paying for others' medical bills. Many also say that Obama is trying to support "free riders" and is not making everyone be responsible for themselves.

    A lot of controversy comes up on the matter of spanking children. A growing number of parents are using rather calm approaches to their kids misbehaving. Yet, many still spank their children and unfortunately, some do more. In public, though, it is a different story. Most people these days feel uncomfortable spanking their children in public because they feel like they're being judged.

    From a medical view there are many reasons not to legalize prostitution. STD's could be tested for in advance but the testing could not keep up with the amount of partners a prostitute would have. The health risks are too dangerous to chance.

    Article on why prostitution should not be legalized using medical analysis.  Very short but very thorough with many cited works.

    If parental consent for contraceptives is mandatory then unsafe sex rates among minors will increase. Unsafe sex can lead to STD's and teen pregnancy. Minors want to have control over their personal health.

    Vaccines are injection into the fatty tissue of the body, they have the same antigens as if it was the actually disease. Though the antigens that are injected are not as strong as the actually disease. The objective is to produce antigens to protect immune system. The body will then attack the antigens to produce antibodies to fight against the real disease if it presents itself.

    This article discusses the importance of vaccinations. They are used to prevent disease and death. If children are not vaccinated the public is more susceptible to diseases, which could lead to outbreak of diseases that were once controlled.

    This article is about how grade children are picky eaters and how some will not have a problem with eating different healthy foods. Many children have their certain routine on flavors they like to taste which will be much more difficult for them to change their food habits. It should not make the parent or anyone else believe they will not be able to accomlish healthy habits for the child, the parent or whoever will need to be strict when wanting to change foods to healthier foods.

    It is absolutely horrible to hear about the fact that we are dealing with a hunger problem and yet there is tons of food wasted each year.
  • Diana M on 17 Feb 14
     
    I think companies should do a better job of labeling expiration dates. Some products say 'use by...' but instead I think it would be a better idea to label food as do not use past this date. It would help diminish food waste nationally.

    The article goes over many of the issues that parents, teachers, and children are having with common core. Parents are noticing children having an increased stressed level which they attribute to common core. In the authors opinion, teachers are required to follow a script, for fear of job loss. Some programs have also been cut from school like PE and Music.

    I don't think the common core is good. Kids at the age of 6 should not be stressed. The programs that have been cut were actually a good way for kids to engage and explore in what they are really interested in for the future time.
  • anonymous on 31 Jan 15
     
    No six year old or any child should be stressed out about school until at least high school. The core is defiantly not a good thing to have for any education.
  • lukemclellan on 03 Feb 15
     
    the fact that schools have to cut programs just to support this "teaching style/ criteria" is insane. Music and gym and various other activities are ways for kids to get out of the cultural norm of academia and express themselves. I cant even imagine what my school would of been like without those things.
