The issue of child discipline has popped into the news again, this time in the form of a bill, proposed by 61-year-old nurse Kathleen Wolf, that would make spanking illegal in Massachusetts.

The State Supreme Judicial Court ruled in 1999 that parents could spank their children, as long as it doesn't cause bodily harm. However, according to CBS, State legislator Jay Kaufman said the bill was less about spanking and more about when people cross the line and abuse their children.

For many parents, this brings up two issues: should the government get involved in the way people parent and should spanking be considered abuse?

Lately, there seems to be a lot of buzz about sneaking veggies into kids’ diets. But maybe parents don’t have to be so covert.

A University of Minnesota study found that serving healthy, nutritional school lunches does not lead to a decline in sales nor do they cost more to produce. This contradicts previous studies that found students prefer fatty foods and that healthier meals cost more to make.

Instead of serving hot dogs, the kitchens served turkey hot dogs. Instead of spending more money on processed foods, they bought cheaper nutritional foods and used the extra money to cover higher labor costs.

So it looks like kids are more willing than we thought to chow down on healthy lunches. What do you think? Would your kid eat a healthier school lunch?
