Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I hear you, Elaine. The problem is the children are probably eating the same way their parents are. If the child is obese, 9 times out of 10 the parents are too. So, if the parents aren't taking care of their health it's unlikely they'll be doing so for their children. Sad but true. /gfj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
