Anyhow, I don’t intend to go vegetarian or pile that on an unwilling family. I like my meat and my family loves and expects my cookin’ that includes meat—nom nom nom. :)

Yeah, I know. Only about 0.5% of the American population is vegan, so I didn't think I was going to do any mass conversions here :) Just trying to spread a little helpful info. A great book is "The Engine 2 Diet". I recommend that one.

The truth as I find it and what seems apparent from studies...

Home cooking IS the answer.

I can’t give you a link off the top of my head but if you complain too much I will find it for ya. :P

They studied schools who had all sorts of junk food available and those who went MEchelle Obama healthy.

The schools with junk food fared better and had LESS fat kids.

I DO believe there are so many who can no longer cook and that is part of the problem.

The other part is that we allow these non-cookers to live off pre-prepared stuff.

Anyhoo.... :)

I will look at the Engine2 diet. Thanks.

I do absolutely swear by Weight Watchers online. It makes everything points and even having a burger out is OK.

Everything is points—how do you want to spend them.

Exercise counts for points, too—even points for mowing the lawn. OoohRah!
