Gun violence is a horrible tragedy and gun violence crimes have gone up in 2020. When someone shoots and kills a person it affects their whole family. Their loved one is someone's grandchild, father, mother, son, daughter, uncle, aunt, brother or sister. It denies them a chance to live their lives to their fullest potential and be there for their family. The shooter is also affected by having to go to jail, leaving their family and maybe a daughter or son that now has to grow up without a mom or dad too, all because of a senseless act of gun violence.

According to Medicare, obesity is a disease. But according to others, it's actually a lifestyle.

April Herndon, an associate professor of English at Winona State University in Minnesota, is one person who is tackling the issue.

Psychology Today writer Alice Dreger, a professor of clinical medical humanities and bioethics at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, asked Herndon to address some obesity questions. In regards to whether it's a disease or a lifestyle choice, Herndon said, "The truth is that obesity is so complicated that most doctors and scientists will admit that the answer may change for each person or (gasp!) that we just don't know."
