Thanks for the great link. That really worries me! I've got two girls (10 and 12) and the 10 yr old is like an eating machine! She is just a few pounds over weight now, but we all know how that goes. I agree with the article on the fast food and sodas being a big problem, but they left out a few others. Breakfast cereal is horrible! I never paid attention to the amount of sugar and calories until now (since you gotta read those labels). Instant oatmeal is bad too. My other big complaint is with the diet industry (BILLIONS of dollars a yr). Take this pill you'll lose weight, buy this book you'll lose, drink this drink you'll lose, and so on. I think the government should regulate this a little more closely. These creeps give you false hope and take your money. I estimate that in my attempts to lose weight I have spent atleast $45,000 over the past 10 yrs. The only thing I managed to do was gain more and lose money! Okay so I vented! Sorry, but really great info!
