Is he doing something illegal? Can he be punished by the school?

Immature and childish? Absolutely. Illegal? Don�t think so. It may be against school rules (particularly if it is a private or Catholic school) but not illegal and what would the punishment be anyway, as he is graduating? Sorry if you are offended by this but just remember that freedom of speech and freedom of religion work both ways.

Is this really unhealthy to eat in a day?

I dont see any unhealthy stuff in your list. But chocolate chips. No matter they are healthy or unhealthy , you have to calculate the cals , that is the point of weight which you are concern right?

How to convince my parents that I'm not dieting but eating healthy ?

Hi,I used to be overweight (weighed about 160 lbs) when I was 14 my height is 5,10. I started dieting when I was 14 and a half years old because everybody at school bullied me, called me names, and obviously wanted a girlfriend . Now after dieting and fortunately reaching my goal I weigh 140 lbs with the same height. I started taking care and maintainig my weight by not eating high calorie foods,bread and fast foods. Currently I eat a lot of vegetables and fruit but my parents still think I'm dieting and tell me to stop or theyll send me to the psychologist but I'm happy the way I eat. Also my both parents are overweight and I try telling them that what they eat is unhealthy but they ignore me and since I eat a lot of fruit they think I ONLY EAT THAT ! , but I always prepare myself healthy meals according to the specific portion size which include many lean cuts of protein and vegetables. But my parents think I should eat more because they think I'm eating like a girl!.Also I work out daily and keep myself active.I eat about 2000 calories a day. So please I need to know how to convince my parents I'm not dieting any more but eating healthy.

Looking to move, need suggestions (particularly Philly)?

Hello. I am a single mid 20's female, currently live in upstate New York and looking to move to one of the states surrounding New York, either Connecticut, New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (sorry, not really a fan of Massachusetts). I think I may be leaning more towards Philadelphia as it seems to suit what I am looking for because of the high population and what it has to offer. I want to live within the heart of the city in a studio or one bedroom apartment (relatively priced) within walking distance to local restaurants, nightlife, local attractions as in museums and Philadelphia Phillies, etc. Having never visited, (but plan to before moving), I dont know what neighborhood would suit my needs. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Weight Watchers Points Plus questions?

You don't have to buy special food, you just have to measure the points of regular food buy calculating the amount of fat, carbs, protein, and fiber. When you sign up, get the calculator that you enter this information in. It will calculate it for you instead of you having to estimate based on generalization. The calculator was a HUGE help. I personally love the new Points Plus better than the old system because this one is more based on health value than caloric intake.

Should i take jazz or Modern/Lyrical dance class???????????

if you want to do dance at your school (like a dance team, dance club etc.) then do modern but EVENTUALLY you will need to get to jazz. i would take ballet no matter what though. ballet gives you technique which you need to become a dancer. ballet also has all the fundamentals, and basics you will need later on (ex, first position, second position, third position etc.) if you can take 2 classes a week i would take Jazz (just to start off, if you can change in the middle of the session, change to modern, if you cant stick with jazz) and ballet. if you can take three i would take two ballets and one jazz (same thing from above [if possible move to modern]). i hope this helps you and good luck! :)

Should corporations be allowed to patent human genes?

I agree with the ACLU. This particular case has led to significant barriers in the health-care field as it required researchers who so much as mentioned the name of that gene in their research papers to pay a royalty. This kind of patenting of medical information would destroy medicine as we know it. This particular case was viewed by many in the medical field as a case of academic piracy.
