Malnutrition

Malnutrition: results from a poor diet or a lack of food. It happens when the intake of nutrients or energy is too high, too low, or poorly balanced. Malnutrition involves a dietary deficiency. People may eat too much of the wrong type of food and have malnutrition.

SHOULD MARIJUANA BE LEGAL?

In the society, there are two types of people fighting between each other, some are agree with the legalization and some not.
