Barack Obama

After a century of trying, we declared that healthcare in America is not a privilege for a few, it is a right for everybody. After decades of talk, we finally began to wean ourselves off foreign oil.

Perhaps one of the most important things you can do for human beings is wean them off an animal-based diet. It hardens the arteries and runs up our health-care costs.

British Activist

Jennifer Garner

I've had more acne as an adult than I had as a teenager. After weaning babies, my skin's gone totally bonkers.

American Psychologist
