By Jonathon M. Seidi Oct. 13, 2010 Federal officials are turning to psychology in a new approach to get kids to choose healthier foods in the school lunch line.

On Monday, Obama will make remarks at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery and miss the usual tradition of presidents speaking at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day. Instead, Vice President Biden and his wife will appear in ...
