What do you like about this subject?  I love being a research nurse and teaching about obesity and diabetes in teeenagers. I also like studying metabolism.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  metabolism is complicated!
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Allowing your teen to become sedentary makes as much sense as allowing him to skip school.
