Every meal at Wellspring is basically a fat-free re-creation of something unhealthy. In their nutrition and cooking classes, kids learn to make mozzarella sticks with fat-free cheese and PB&J sandwiches with imitation peanut butter.

"A lot of parents ask me why we don't serve organic health foods," says Craig, "to which I say, Is your kid really going to eat that?" (See the 10 worst fast food meals...
...students who wish to cut corners with their studies, the Undergraduate Council’s recent vote to allocate funds for the creation of an online study guide library seems almost too good to be true. Student-generated study guides—succinct little packages of reading summaries, source analyses, or useful formulas—often allow students to quickly scan through the basics of a semester-long course without ever having to attend a lecture or crack open a book...

Many social organizations and sports teams already circulate study guides over internal lists, giving members an advantage over those without such connections. Moreover, some TFs provide additional study materials to their students, such as lecture outlines and explanations of readings, which give some students within a class an edge over their peers in other sections. An open study guide library presumably would level the playing field...
