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.

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.

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.

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.

The average american family wastes about 1,200 pounds of food annually. Residents who throw away food will have a "scarlet letter" type notice on their trash can. This red sticker will let others know that this person was throwing away good food. This is a good way to try and stop us from throwing away so much good food.

It would be smart for a pregnant women to know about the different options she has for the birth of her child. Women should seek the different specialized doctors to be educated on the healthiest way to give birth. More knowledge for the mother equals a healthier baby.

Planned Parenthood isn't just about abortions. Defunding Planned Parenthood doesn't just effect abortions as many Republicans and "pro-life" activist would like to think. Planned Parenthood provides birth control, breast exams, pap-smears, and sexual education classes. And get this, government funding isn't even used for abortions in the first place!

Planned Parenthood offers more diverse health-care than just abortions. Planned Parenthood provides essential medical practices to women who could not otherwise afford them. The fight against this establishment is only scaling the top of this issue. This is not a fight against supporting abortion, this is a fight to keep women feeling safe with knowing they have a place to turn when they need medical assistance.

Many people see planned parenthood as an organization that has been taking money from the government to fund abortions among many other issues. It's thought that this shouldn't be the case because there are so many other health care services in the states that provide the same services as well as many more services too. The break down of some of the expenses show why continuing to fund planned parenthood would not be the best solution for the tax payers money.
