     Danielle Mazlish, a 10-year-old from Pound Ridge, has been named the New York winner in the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge.

     The national competition’s winners were announced by First Lady Michelle Obama, PBS flagship station WGBH Boston, the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

     The other regional winners include Kalaya Moody, a 10-year-old from Windsor, Conn.; and Gianna Malecki, 8, from Cranford, N.J.

     The recipe challenge for those ages 8 to 12 was designed to promote cooking and healthy eating, and Mazlish was recognized for her creation, Chicken Cheeseball Kabobs on Veggie Spaghetti.

     Winners representing all the states, territories and the District of Columbia will attend a Kids’ “State Dinner” – actually a healthy lunch featuring a selection of the winning recipes followed by a visit to the White House kitchen garden – set for July 14 at the White House and hosted by Michelle Obama.

     “For the last five years, kids across the country have cooked up nutritious and delicious dishes as part of the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge, and each year, I continue to be impressed by their talent and creativity,” Obama said in announcing the winners. “Kids are truly embracing and enjoying healthy eating and preparing healthy meals for their families, and I look forward to meeting this year’s winners here at the White House for the Kids’ ‘State Dinner’ and trying some of their tasty creations.”

DANGERS OF DRUGS

There are many persuasive arguments you can give to convince middle school students not start using drugs. One argument is the pain you would put your family through. Not only is it dangerous to using the drugs, it is also very dangerous to be around the people that sell the drugs. One of the best arguments I could give it the very harmful affects that the drug does to your body. There are endless arguments that you could give to students not to buy and use drugs but I believe those are the best arguments.       

      Using drugs are very dangerous to not only you but your family too. When people start using drugs, they do not think about the pain and suffrage that your family will have to go through. Your family will have to go through the challenge of overcoming your addiction with you, which will put a strain on your relationship with them. It would be very hard for your mother or father to see you using a dangerous drug. Not only will it affect you but it will affect the people that you love most.       

      When somebody said “drugs” they only think about using them. They do not think about the extremely dangerous people that you have to be around to get the drugs. These types of people are not nice, and could hurt you. These people have probably committed crimes and have been in prison. There is so much more to the word “drug” than people think about, such as the people you have to be associated with.

SMOKING VS VAPING

Vaping is often seen as a safe or safer alternative to smoking. It is also relatively new to the market, only hitting the mainstream over the past decade or so. Because it hasn’t been a part of the public consciousness for as long as cigarette smoking, there is a lot that people and even smokers do not understand about it. Here, I will compare a few different aspects of the two habits Vaping VS Smoking to help people get a better understanding of how they are similar and where they differ, and whether one is safer than the other or not.

         In addition to tar – which is a collective term for various particles that have a wide variety of carcinogens – the smoke of tobacco cigarettes contains thousands of harmful chemicals, at least 70 of which have been proven to be cancer-causing agents. When these chemicals enter your body, they impact every organ they come in contact with, and several organs they don’t even come in direct contact with.

         Vaping, unlike smoking, involves the inhalation of vapourized e-cigarette liquid consisting of water, nicotine, a base of propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin and occasionally, flavouring. The lack of smoke inhalation is what leads many e-cigarette users to believe vaping is a safer alternative to smoking.
