Publicity stunt or...?

For this week, I thought we could spend one class (maybe more if you aren't too obsessed with AP/SAT) talking about "journalistic integrity" and - more predominantly in this case - whether or not this woman is nuts.

It's about the correlation between childhood obesity and junk food available at school.
It'll be cool to talk about how kids are so fat these days.
What will be the adequate solution for relieving them from obesity?

2. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/16/world/asia/japanese-official-says-nations-atomic-rules-are-flawed.html?scp=2&sq=japan%20nuclear&st=cse

This article is about how Japan did not so awesome job in preventing nuclear disasters.
I want to talk about how the Japanese government is trying to hide the real crisis Japan is going through now.
What would be the best solution for the people of Japan?
Hide the fact that they are in trouble in sake of pertaining their economy level?
Or admitting that they need help and that they need to evacuate their radioactive-zoned country?

Week 1: Notes

I'll do this later.
