Hands off! Schools ban Flamin' Hot Cheetos

Most of us know what to expect when we dig in to a bag of Cheetos: bright orange cheese powder coating everything that gets even remotely close to the crunchy, addictive little buggers. But we’ve never really thought of them as dangerous…until now, that is.

 

Some schools across the U.S. are banning a Cheetos’ Flamin’ Hot variety from their campuses. Teachers are complaining that the snack-munching kids are leaving bright red finger prints across desks and books, but this hot commodity seems to having a far greater effect than just making a mess.

 

E.R. doctors reports that patients have come in complaining of stomach pain after eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos—and that the bright food dye that turns these crunchies red can discolor your poo, which is seriously freaky. Schools argue that they are too high in salt (25 percent of your daily allowance) and fat (26 grams) to be part of the healthy, balanced diet they are trying to promote.

 

What do you think? Should schools be allowed to kick certain snacks outta the building?

The cheetos shouldn't have been banned, they should have been kicked to the curb because they are pure junk food, plain and simple.

As for the excuse about them having too much salt... That's not a good reason. There is NO scientific proof backing up claims that salt causes high blood pressure or health problems. The only people that benefit from a salt-reduced diet are of African decent. As for everyone else, we could probably eat three times the daily salt allowance for the rest of our lives and be perfectly fine. (Granted, the bloated fingers wouldn't be fun.)

I think they should be able to ban foods...
What if a food can make someone seriously sick? It's way better to snack on something healthier rather than risk your life to a junk food

MOD MOD MOD Help! My cheeks are so red my friends asked me if I was wearing blush! Is it just a normal thing? Should I have a doctor check on it? By the way, I am positive that I am not allergic to anything. It does not seem like the case for that anyways.




Hey girl, I don't think there's anything abnormal about red cheeks, but if you're concerned, you can run it by your 'rents and the doc the next time you see her. In the meantime, however, take a deep breath and relax. Rosy cheeks are lovely and may just end up saving you a bit on blush to boot!

i have a crush on my guy friend. i was over at his house on Thanksgiving night with my fam for a party. we went downstairs to his bedroom (with his cousin, she's an 8th grader, he's in 8th grade and imma freshman) and hung out and talked the whole night until i left. i can't stop thinking about him. i wanna tell him i like him but i feel like if i do that it might be weird between us(i'm going over there again before Christmas for another party). at school he gives me the "sup" nod in the halls. i asked him who he liked (i'm very brazen about those things) and he wouldnt tell me, mayb because it's me? what should i do? should i tell him? (i'd haveta do it over text) or should i wait until i go over there in like 3 weeks and see how things shake out? thanks!




Hey girl, I'd wait for now. Definitely tell him you like him in person and not over text. Announcements that big should be made in person (even though it can be a little harder working up the guts!)

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
