Although most people deny eating these greasy meals, there is no denying that most of us become weak when it comes to consuming unhealthy fast food.

Not only does the … [Read more...] about You Are What You Eat

Have they forgotten that this country was established by immigrants and not once were they referred to as alien or … [Read more...] about Immigrants shouldn’t be deemed “illegal”
