A nine-year-old schoolgirl single-handedly cooks up a science-fair experiment that ends up debunking (揭穿……的真相) a widely practiced medical treatment. Emily Rosa’s target was a practice known as therapeutic (治疗的) touch (TT for short), whose advocates manipulate patients’ "energy field" to make them feel better and even, say some, to cure them of various illness.

Our real American foods have come from our soil and have been used by many groups— those who already lived here and those who have come here to live. The Native Americans already had developed an interesting cuisine using the abundant foods that were so prevalent.
