Michelle Mackin 
What is the real meaning of May Day? There are many opinions about what this day is all about. I believe it to be about several. Of course, I am not a history buff so I could be completely wrong. It won't be the first time or the last that I am.

By now, everyone is familiar with the milk sugar lactose and its nemesis, the enzyme lactase.
