Overweight people cannot attend public school. They must provide medical documentation that they are at an appropriate weight for their age.

Overweight people cannot work in hospitals or medicine, as teachers or in the military.

Studies show that being healthy-weight is safe and effective from preventing and managing disease. Those who are obese are 70% more likely to be hospitalized or die from an infectious disease.

Why is one mandate “fair” and the other is not?

ETA: scientific studies show that overweight people shed viruses for a longer period of time than those at a healthy weight.

When I search “gift for grandma birthday” it’s a bunch of customized items. Not really looking for a personalized gift

What’s a good gift all grandmas need? Grandmas - what’s the best thing you’ve ever got !

Do any parents have a 2nd side hustle that doesn’t take too much time away from their kids? I know that sounds unrealistic but looking for ideas. Anything like data entry or something you wfh doing when your tot goes to bed? I need a 2nd income in this economy but cant have all of the money going right to the babysitter… vicious cycle

retired NFL football qb tim Tebow has now dedicated his life to being an advocate for child exploitation. He posts specifically about CSAM and how many peds are out there roaming free… he also… on the same account… posts his sweet baby’s face all over the internet. His wife is an “influencer” linking all of her “mama links” to posts of her baby. WTH????She has photos of her baby eating those teether pops, mouth wide open and all. Anyone who is an advocate against CSAM KNOWS that children eating food is the worst content you can post. These people are sick!!!!

What is your response to these types of comments? Especially with an anaphylactic allergy. Please add more questions and responses you commonly encounter

1. It’s fine, you have an epi pen.

2. Just take Benadryl

3. The world doesn’t revolve around you and your allergy

4. It’s fine, the *allergy food* is on the other side of the table

5. If you accidentally got it on you, it would be a VERY small amount to do any harm (RE: cross contamination)

6. Eye rolls or snickering when discussing how serious any type of contact to allergy can be

Have a new baby coming into the extended family and a toddler with an anaphylactic dairy allergy. I obviously wouldn’t let him touch the bottles, but I want to hear stories - good and bad - of coming into contact with breast milk and spit up with this allergy. Has anyone had a serious reaction through cross contamination?

Preferably in Suffolk. Any quest / lab corp/ other locations that were really great with your kids?

Any success stories? What worked, what didn’t, what dietary changes did you make and how long did it take? Please share!

Kind of a niche request - I am looking for a good family law attorney. I don’t have a “toxic” or messy divorce and I was hoping to come up with a stipulation order and parenting plan with an attorney. If anyone has gone through something similar and used a good lawyer please let me know! Thank you
