I do share her concern for healthy eating (and I have a physique much like hers, evidencing at least a LOT of eating...healthy or otherwise)
but REALLY...how many kids want a diet of Turnips?!
(And who elected her as our childrens’ dietician, anyway!? For goodness sakes!)
One thing I will add ... my grandfather went on a Turnip Diet (don’t ask me, he just seemed to know about this)... and he lost a whole LOT of weight..... I doubt it was really healthy (certainly he wasn’t getting a ‘balanced diet” except when a turnip stood still, balanced on the table without rolling off to the floor). So I cannot recommend this approach to anyone. And everyone else got sick of turnips being boiled morning noon and night.
But anyway, he lost about 50 pounds or so.... so at least for him it worked.
don’t try any such diet without an OK from your MD, please.
I post it only for entertainment.
....when the Global Climate Change goes into ice age.....turnips are a life saver.
