When it comes to receiving a higher education, some still look down on community colleges, believing they are the lowest of the low. They do not see that community colleges can offer almost everything that a four-year university can offer in the way of education, as well as experience. Community colleges are also a cheaper alternative to four-year schools, given today’s economy. However, some areas that community colleges are lacking have become surprisingly crucial for students’ college experience. Many do not believe cafeterias are necessary on community college campuses; this is a problem. Cafeterias provide a central meeting place that allows students to ...

Obesity is an energy balance disorder whereby the number of calories being consumed exceeds the number of calories being burned. In addition, it can be caused by parents feeding their children with too many calories, for instance, junk food, instead of a proper balanced diet. The excess calories in the child’s body are converted into fats, which accumulate in the child’s body leading to overweight and obesity. In order for one to become non-obese, it will take a few lifestyle changes, which produce a small daily calorie deficit. Preventing childhood obesity will require societal changes to help the modification of ...

Over the years, a huge number of overweight adults in America, which consist of up to two thirds of the American population, have taken up over the counter diet pills to control their obesity and overweight issues. However, the assumption that these diet pills are safe just because they are in the market is unwarranted. Resent research on diet pills by leading medical institutions have shown that they might be effective in controlling weight issues, but are also unsafe, in that they have multiple side effects. The FDA has exempted these supplements from undergoing the rigorous test and safety standards ...
