  • I'd like to see more dishes with marinara sauce instead of everything always being heavy cream and cheese sauces. And bring back the darned french fries! I'm all for adding healthy side options, but why do you have to get rid of french fries? Leave it up to us to decide.

• Should breast-feeding be shown on Sesame Street?

  Fri Jan 13, 2012
  • Why does everyone think you need to expose your breast to breastfeed your child? Many of us manage to do this in a discreet way that does not expose anything publicly. This is just part of child-raising for many mothers. It's a shame that it has to be such a big deal.

  Tue Jan 10, 2012
  • I'm 46 and I think I've used the CD player in my car less than 5 times in the 5 years I've owned it. All the CDs I own have been loaded into my iTunes library (thousands of hours of music that I've already paid for over many many years). New music I purchase music directly through iTunes.

• Rome to repave cobblestone streets for women's heels
