Most recently, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has proposed a new plan to eliminate junk food sold in schools.

This new plan proposed on Feb. 1, titled “Smart Snacks in Schools,” is a part of the government’s efforts to reduce childhood obesity under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA).

Author, educator, and nutrition coach Dayle Hayes has an overall positive felling about this new plan, but hopes that it doesn’t force people to focus only on the issue of childhood obesity, rather help them to focus on making all children healthy.

 

Remnants of Wright

The desert fascinated Frank Lloyd Wright. 

He once described the nature of Arizona as that of a “cry out for a space-loving architecture of its own.” He peeled back the flesh of saguaros to study their ribs, which would inspire him to invent his own support column design.

Wright left his fingerprints all across Arizona. He personally designed at least 26 projects in Arizona, with 17 of his designs recorded to have been built. However, only 11 built projects stand, all within the Phoenix area, while at least nine of his designs for Arizona have yet to come to fruition.

One of his designs, the David Wright house, located in Phoenix and named after his son, recently escaped an ominous fate.
