Join in the Fight to Make School Lunches Healthier!
Corn dogs, canned fruit and a bag of chipsthat was a typical hot lunch offering at the posh private school my daughter attended in Marin County, California six years ago.

We had to rethink all we ever were told about morality and conception from our schooling, where things like IVF and embryo biopsies were not an option.
Celebrity Rehab — Where Are They Now?

Of course, addiction is a very serious thing and I dont want to minimize the importance of rehab, I just think that going to rehab seems like the go-to solution for a troubled celebritys career — whether they have a legitimate addiction or not. Lindsay Lohan was recently released from her court-ordered stint in rehab. This made me think back to all the celebrities weve heard of going to rehab over the years. Did the rehab help their addictions? How has their stint in rehab affected their personal lives and their careers?
