One of the best ways you can do good in the world is to take what you're an expert at and apply it to helping people!

Jamie Oliver KNOWS FOOD. As a chef, his talents lie with stuff we put in our mouths for nutrition and taste! So he's taking that skill set and he's set off to kick malnutrition's ass!

First and foremost, he's created a petition to world leaders imploring them to reduce chronic malnutrition by 2016!

Okay, so if you're somewhat confused, we understand. We're just learning this too.

Gatorade apparently has an ingredient, brominated vegetable oil (BVO), that can be used as a flame retardant!

When in Gatorade, BVO actually keeps certain flavors mixed in, or else the flavoring ingredient would float to the surface of the drink.

Sarah Kavanaugh, 15, realized people probably shouldn't be drinking BVO, so she started a petition on Change.org.

And PepsiCo, owner of Gatorade, listened! They're replacing the ingredient! That was easy!

Subway could take a page out of Pepsi's book! LOLz!

It's so amazing that they reacted so quickly to the online petition. They just saved themselves a lot of consumer grief.

Way to go, Sarah!

That least they have a sense of humor about 55,000 people hating their music. LOLz!

Nickelback has turned to Funny or Die to respond to those signing a petition to cancel their Thanksgiving NFL halftime show in Detroit.

Check out the sketch above and let us know if this makes it a little more okay that the band performs during the Lion's game against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday.

Yes? No? Maybe so?

Still no? Okay, but you can't blame them for trying.

By telling Obama to fund vaccines!

Go to this website and lend your voice to the cause by telling Obama the following:
