What is the moral of this story?
You might've seen the famous poster of Rosie the Riveter. She wears a red bandanna, blue overalls, and flexes her arm muscle. Above her is the saying "We Can Do It!"

However, the famed Rosie image misses something. More than 500,000 of the women working at this time were "Black Rosies." They worked tirelessly in shipyards, factories, offices and elsewhere. All the while they fought both the foreign enemy abroad and the enemy of racism at home.

Although it may be tempting, eating too much candy
can have a negative impact on your body and how you
feel. Munching on too much candy can cause cavities
in your teeth from all of the sugar. It is also very high
in “empty” calories, which means the calories provide
you no nutrients, just fat and calories from sugar!
This can cause you to gain too much unhealthy weight.
Too much sugar can also cause you to have a “foggy”
brain, slowing down your memory and making you
tired.
