Go to a fast food restaurant and look at the shapes and size of the people. Go to a grocery store and look at what people have in their shopping cart. Now imagine National Health Care.

Her husband was so heavy he had a special made motorized transport and a respirator so he could breath and their child was so obese his chest rested on his chin and in her cart were six 2 liter bottles of Coke, 2 boxes of "frozen fried chicken" and too many frozen pizza's to count, and she was thin as a rail. Makes you wonder. My kids have eaten at McDonald's but they're so active you would think they sleep outside so I'm not too concerned about them. It's the ones that eat at McDonald's and plop down in front of their Xbox for 8 hours afterwards I'm more concerned for.

Another great, honest post. I have a 3 year old and 1 year old, who are also in the camp of "never having had a Happy Meal." They are both outstanding eaters and I am very proud to say it's because of me. No, it is not easy. But most good things in life require some effort. If you''re interested, I wrote an article on my cooking blog about how they came to be the eaters they are (so far!) - http://veryculinary.com/_blog/?p=38 I intend on forwarding your post onto many.
