For several months, Cara has been working up the courage to approach her mom about what she saw on Instagram. Not long ago, the 11-year-old who, like all the other kids in this story, is referred to by a pseudonym, discovered that her mom had been posting photos of her without prior approval, for much of her life. “I’ve wanted to bring it up. It’s weird seeing myself up there, and sometimes there’s pics I don’t like of myself,” Cara said. Like most other modern kids, Cara grew up immersed in social media. Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube wer...

Submitted by Jessica Prosper, Community Ag Educator, Cornell Cooperative Extension Franklin County In general, there is a lot of confusion about the terminology used when describing food. With everyone vying for your dollar and trying to find their market niche, it is no wonder that consumers find themselves confused about what it all means. It also doesn’t help that while some words or terms have very defined meanings, others are left open to interpretation. The following is a brief overview of what some commonly used words and terms mean. As...
You may be aware that a plant-based diet can make you healthier by lowering your risk for obesity, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Now, a study suggests there’s another good reason to regularly eat meatless meals. By filling your plate with plant foods instead of animal foods, you can help save the planet. Traditionally and culturally, the Haudenosaunee diet was a predominantly plant based diet, interspersed with seasonally available protein; whether it be fish, venison, or moose meat. A study, published in the journal ‘Nature’, found that...

What is Ovarian Cancer? Ovarian Cancer is a cancer that starts in the cells of the ovary or ovaries. The ovaries are two small oval shaped organs that lie deep in the pelvis on either side of the uterus (womb). The ovaries produce the female hormones estrogen and progesterone.

Types of Ovarian Cancer There are three types of ovarian cancers. The first type is the Epith...

Most parents don’t let their children blame others if the child is doing something that is the child’s fault. They tell their children to own up to their mistakes and find a way to fix them. When it comes to the childhood obesity epidemic in the United States, parents should take some of their own advice and realize that they need to fix the mistakes they are making in guiding their children’s nutrition, says Dr. Joseph Galati, author of, ‘Eating Yourself Sick: How to Stop Obesity, Fatty Liver, and Diabetes from Killing You and Your Family...
