Welcome to CNN students news.

Products being pulled off shelves, authorities running to investigations, some shoppers protesting, all over has to with meat.

Some packages that are labelled to have 100% beef were discovered to contain horse meat.

Ireland, the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Romania, this scandal is affecting more than a dozen European countries.

The latest news is that Nestle is pulling some of its product in Italy, Spain and France.

It's also stopping deliveries of some product from German suppliers, because traces of horse DNA were found in the meat.

Let's get the big question out of the way.

Will eating horse meat make you sick?

British health official say no, the meat itself not a risk.

One concern is about the drug called bute.

It's used on horse, but it can cause some rare but serious health problems for humans.

There's also a religious issue here.

Some religions have dietary laws that restrict eating horse meat.

Since the packages are labelled incorrectly, people might have eat without knowing.

In some countries like France, China and Russia, eating horse meat is common.

In others like the United Kingdom, the idea is unthinkable.

Would this kind of thing change your eating habit?

On twitter, Chris told me, yes, there's no good circumstance I can think of where I'd willingly eat horse.

Meg disagreed, Honestly, I wouldn't change my eat habit just for a little chance that I would eat horse meat.

See if you can ID me.

I'm US state that bordered Canada.

I have one of America's smallest populations.

My southern neighbor shares part of my name.

And my capital city is Bismarck.

I'm North Dakota, and my name comes from a native American word.

You might expect North Dakota to get hammered with snow on winter.

But on average, the state gets less snow than the states to the east or west of it.

Then there's this.

A winter storm slammed part of the state last weekend.

Diana Porter, who sent this video in, said there were 4 to 8 inches of snow and winds blowing felt around 50 miles per hour.

Snow and fog, made it hard for drivers to see, so officials put out.

They also warn drivers to watch out for snow plows working to clear the roads.

Weather is flying and flying is weather.

A pilot named Bob Ball wrote that, showing that two things are always linked.

That's why the storms like North Dakota blizzard or the recent storm on the east coast always affect air travel.

Plane is still the safest way to travel, but there is a lot to go in to make it that way.
