It’s common for artists who work closely together on set to become friends outside of work. This has happened many times before. Take the case of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who used to be popular but are now divorced. In 2004, when they began working on “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston.

Everyone should eat well. Since “Healthy body, healthy mind” still applies, eating well and taking care of your body can help your brain function better. Each of us must respect some behavior rules. We should all eat well, but we shouldn’t insult someone who doesn’t or we assume doesn’t. That is unacceptable, especially for a child.

Lastly, businesses are doing what they need to do to show that they are welcoming. In order to better serve their customers, fashion companies have recently moved away from the standard model of a thin white woman and toward models with more different body types.
