Autism seems to be a more and more common diagnosis- about 1 in 88 children is now affected!

Whether it's the problem that's increasing or just our awareness of it is unclear, but we do have some hope on the horizon. It may not always be a lifelong disorder!

According to a University of Connecticut study, some children actually grow out of it! Professor of psychology Deborah Fein says:

This is a serious problem, you guys.

The obesity in America is really getting out of control.

The United States has the highest rate of obesity in the entire world. Right now, 35.7% of American adults are obese, as are 17% of our children!

So it's not all that surprising that we're requiring larger and larger coffins!

Everyone should be happy about Colorado's groundbreaking recreational marijuana win, because it makes logical sense.

Governor Hickenlooper, who has to have made up that last name after a bet, would like to remind everyone that it's going to be a long process and blah blah blah don't be so excited. Who want's to put a stop to people being excited about politics??

Ridic!

Wow, we've heard of teaching your kids how to drive, teaching your kids how to ride a bicycle, but teaching your kids how to pole dance???

That is most definitely a new one.

But one teacher of the fine art of pole dancing thinks that it is a great way to burn carbs, and get your sweat going on.

And while we agree that it is most certainly a great cardio workout - we think there are definitely some sexual connotations associated with such a discipline.

Ch-ch-check the video out (above) and decide what you think for yourself!!!!

This isn't good news at all.

Kids with asthma might need to seek out a different way to control it other than budesonide, which is marketed under several brand names, including Rhinocort and Pulmicort.

That is, kids with asthma that can handle finding something else — the drug is extremely great at handling severe asthma, so researchers don't recommend taking kids off the drug if they need it.

Asthma affects an estimated 6 million U.S. children and millions more adults.

The problem is with growth. Kids tend to be at least half an inch shorter permanently if they're using budesonide. If you ask us, that's still worth it to get asthma under control!

Still, you should talk over options with your doctors!

Chalk this up as a win for the kids!

Modern Family is one of the most successful shows on television, and yet it would not be ANYWHERE without the actors who portray the kids on the show. So we're super glad to hear that almost all of the kid actors on the show will be receiving a pay upgrade
