What is your opinion regarding obese passengers and the rights of others traveling onboard an aircraft? Do you think that they should have to purchase two seats if they choose to live that kind of lifestyle?

What about the children of these people? Is it okay that because they are overweight, their child should be?

Therapists have seen that people who fail to form attachments while infants are predisposed to mental illness starting as young as early adolescence. However, as with most forms of parenting theory, there is little in the way of experimentation or studies proving the efficacy of Attachment Parenting.

HFCS causes obesity, promotes fat gain around the mid-section and increases triglycerides in the blood.
Am I right to be outraged that foods label "original" contain such a dangerous additive or is HFCS not really all that bad?

My daughter had a terrible cough with her last virus. I don't like giving my children over the counter cough syrup and read recently that theobromine in chocolate helps suppress a cough better than codine. So I thought, it's worth a try.

Being a critical medical researcher, I give advice to my friends, particularly my friends who are also parents, about vaccination. I do not do so in a forceful manner, I just ask people to bear in mind what they are putting into their bodies, considering the toxic "non-medicinal ingredients" such as glycine and aluminum hydrochloride, that comprise a good deal of new vaccines. I became quite passionate about arguing against vaccination during the H1N1 panic, and as new vaccines are being released en masse now - for example the "TwinRix" vaccine recommended for anyone traveling s
