Melissa Gilbert, who once played Half Pint on Little House On The Prairie is running for Congress as a Democrat in Michigan’s 8th district. She said she’s doing it “to make life a little easier for all the families who feel they have fallen through the cracks in today’s economy.” She added, “I believe building a new economy is a team effort, and we need to bring fresh voices to the table to get the job done.” Melissa was the president of the Screen Actors Guild from 2001 to 2005.

Do you have a child that’s a picky eater? Sometimes it’s a phase, sometimes it’s rebelion, but researchers at Duke University found that children with moderate to selective eating are nearly twice as likely to have increased anxiety and those with moderate and severe picky eating can be associated with depression and ADHD that may need intervention. Lead author Nancy Zucker said they’re not talking about children that won’t eat broccoli or tomatoes. These are children that defy authority and will not eat foods provided no matter what.
