By Katie Drummond - AOL News(Oct. 26) -- Wrist-slaps, restricted options and "Big Brother"-esque monitoring systems aren't the only way to get kids eating healthier meals at school -- nor will the heavy-handed approaches prove to be the most effective alternative in the quest to push whole grains and salads over sodas and french fries.

The initiative will also eliminate carbonated soda and deep-fryers and replace white bread with higher-fiber options. Prudent steps all, and ones being initiated at schools ...

By Emily Miller - Politics DailyThe flurry of posts by my female colleagues on movies and TV shows has gone Right. Over. My. Head. I have never heard of this Julie-whatever movie they are debating. What's the big whoop? And although I've seen a couple episodes of "Mad Men," I think the show is boring and unwatchable. I'm way out of my league trying to debate these TV shows that -- let's be frank -- don't have a chance in heck of being on the cover of Us Weekly. So really, why watch? Go ahead and call me superficial, low-brow, cheesy, trashy, shallow and unsophisticated; I accept all those descriptions. So I'm ...
