Dress Codes cause Bullying

It seems counterintuitive that dress codes are causing children to get bullied, since the point of the dress code is to make everyone look the same to protect students from being picked on, however that is exactly what is happening nationwide.

In many schools across the country school dress codes are being enforced. Students are required to wear basically a uniform and whenever out of uniform they are picked on and punished. In a school where students are require dot wear navy slacks and a white collared shirt or a navy jumper with a white shirt underneath, if a student even remotely breaks this they are punished and caused to stand out in a negative way. Not only does this cause an issue with the teacher and student but now is giving fellow class mates a reason to pick on the student.

Dress codes are no longer implemented to protect students, yet they are causing more of an issue and seem to just be a sense of control on the schools part.

Store Bought Herbal Supplements are not what they say they are

It seems counterintuitive that herbal supplements sold in stores are filled with things, that are not on the label and really have no national value. Herbal supplements are sold nationwide and millions take them to improve their overall health.

In an investigation conducted by the government they found that in 4 large chain stores their store band herbal supplements did not have any traces of these vitamins that were said to be in the bottle. Upon further investigation they found many fillers such as sand and powdered rice filling these supplements, giving them no nutritional value at all.

Is it really Organic?

It is counterintuitive for organic products to be labeled organic of they are not actually, however this is exactly what is happening. For food to be labeled made with organic ingredients if less than 70% of the ingredients are actually organic. The label of just organic is used if 95% of the ingredients are produced organically and the only time the buyer will get 100% organic product is if it says 100% organic.
