  2. The FDA has officially banned BPA from use in baby bottles and sippy cups.
  3. Boston’s mayor says the fried chicken fast food chain Chick-fil-A isn’t welcome in his city because the company’s president has admitted he’s anti-homosexual.

Now, the really interesting stuff that’s FUN to know about…
