Stephy, that's when the article is good till.

I don't buy People, but my boss does for us ladies

Wifey, thanks for confirming what I thought! Everyone kept telling me how good and healthy their food was, yet I was constantly sick! I never get sick *knock on wood* except for a really bad illness every couple of years.

I lost 40 lbs by eating plenty of real, unprocessed food. If it wasn't food 5000 years ago, it isn't food now. Don't eat it.

(Well, there is my splenda addiction, but we will deal with that at another time )

hehe Wifezilla, if we can get away with it we use Splenda. I have my coffee with milk and sweetener but never my tea. Tea has to be milk and sugar otherwise it tastes funny (oh man, i'm so english its ridiculous).

Ok I am confused, are you saying it should be mandatory to quit eating processed foods? Rather than a suggestion? Will we have food cops? Here in NC they have just passed a law that says children cannot be fed Whole Milk that no drink flavored with Sugar can be offered and only 100% fruit juice will be allowed. Of course artificial sweeteners are still allowed. Originally this law was to cover all children in day care and the school meals to prevent fat kids. At the last minute they got the bill changed to cover just those meals that are subsidized by tax money. BTW they already have a list of foods that children cannot brown bag from home! ~gd

NO whole milk??? so we want to starve children's brains of the fat they need? great, cuz we weren't stupid enough already.

fruit juice is pure sugar even without the junky sweeteners in it.

idiocy.

do they cut recess too? cuz i'm sure that's been the biggest help in curing add, fat kids, and keeping up with other countries' education.

Yep, they have cut recess in the Seattle area, in the low-income districts anyway. Nice, huh?

Here in NC the daycare centers call it "supervised play" I am not sure what they do at school, but the teachers bitch that the kids should be allowed to burn off some energy to get them settled down to work so I expect recess is un heard of.
