Access to food in the United States is rarely debated.

However, access to nutritious food and healthy habits has become a prevalent issue among Americans –particularly children.

What implications does the health of our children have on future society?

Overweight two to five years-olds face exponential health risks.  For example, children between the ages of three and five who are overweight are five times more likely to become obese as adults. Other risk factors include heart disease, stroke, cancer, among other threats to health and well-being.

However, rates of obesity in children have decreased in the last 10 years according to of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).  Cynthia L. Ogden, “This is the first time we’ve seen any indication of any significant decrease in any group.”

What explains this change in trends?  What strategies or policies are affecting this change?

Coca-Cola featured a controversial ad during Super Bowl XLVII commercials showcasing America’s multiracial identity in correspondence with the world’s most popular soda brand.

The title, “America the Beautiful,” implies that the commercial is going to be ‘Bout Good Ole ‘Merica; but as soon as the vocalist switches from singing the song in English, to signing in Spanish, then to Portuguese, to French, Arabic, Hindi, Tagalog, and so on, back to English, the message of the ad changes.

This particular ad gave off the impression that diversity should be celebrated because America is now mainly composed of multiple ethnicity and languages. Praised by much of the populous, this ad was well received, but for others, the thought of drinking another coke brought a strange taste to their mouths.

Coca-Cola was quick to infer how many of their viewers were dissatisfied at the content of the ad. Many conservatives responded negatively. They…

An Arizona State Frat hosted a party on Martin Luther King Jr.’s commemoration Holiday. Uncalled for and overly racist, the party hit the fan.

ASU’s Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity held an unregistered  “MLK Black Party,” inviting party-goers to “dress like black people.”

Those who attended appeared to fit the stereotype; wearing tall basketball jerseys, sagging pants, drinking from watermelon cups, and flashing gang signs. All of which aired on the attendees’ social media networks.

As a consequence, the university suspended all operations of the fraternity and is taking action against the individuals involved.

Since 2012, the fraternity has been on disciplinary probation with the university, prohibiting TKE members to host parties.

Looking at the situation from a Public Relations perspective, TKE members who partook in the festivities have influence on ASU’s image- as representatives of a national fraternity. This is precisely why the university acted as quickly as it had.

So, the Grammy Awards airs tonight. I don’t know about you, but I’m anticipating some of my favorite artist’s big performances and big wins. One of my favorite artists and a Seattle favorite, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are set to perform “Same Love,” the biggest pro-marriage-equality song of 2014.

While debate is still swirling the U.S. over same-sex marriage laws, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are taking the center stage. During their big performance tonight, 34 couples, of different ethnicities, ages, and sexual orientations, will be married live.

Ryan Lewis stated that the ceremonies will show that “all the couples are entitled to the same exact thing.” Hence, “Same Love.”

Talk about a PR stunt, and not one that will reflect badly on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, but on the Grammy Awards and CBS network. Everyone already knows that Macklemore and Ryan Lewis support marriage equality, but what kind of opinion…
