re: TLC's - Honey We're Killing the Kids

[Guest guest]

In digest #795, Juday shared: " ... this show on TLC. It is on in

the evenings. It's called " Honey we're killing the Kids " .

It takes a family with the SAD diet and sedentary lifestyle

and show them what their kids will look like at the age of 40

if they keep up this way of life. Then they go in and give them

different things to change in their life each week for 3 weeks. "

 

~ Hi Judy. We caught that show, too. My son and i enjoyed it

very much and he was relating to me during the show about

how several of his friends live like that, sadly. He said he hopes

their parents will watch it sometime. It is a great program.

My only critique would be that i felt the dietician that

restructured the family's diet could have done a better

job at making the recipes more familiar, yet kept them as

healthy low-fat, etc. i mean to make a family dine upon squid

saute when all they have ever eaten before is pizza, chips, and

microwaved dinners was strange and of course the kids are

going to have a negative reaction to the meals being healthy.

On the top of the oak and its branches on high

What the vision of an eagle, what the illusion.
