Yet, the petroleum energy Humble supplies—if converted into heat—could melt it at the rate of 80 tons each second!” Times have changed, as evidenced by Exxon’s latest ad campaign touting its research into greenhouse gas-reducing algae.

“Mommy, I like the lunches that you and Daddy make. Those school lunches look yucky.” -Little Miss Techie, First Grader I can understand Little Miss Techie’s avoidance of school lunches despite movements by the First Lady and celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s attempts to make them healthier but sometimes it can be a challenge to figure out what to include in the lunch box that will provided needed nutrition to hard working growing brains and bodies.
