You wrote "Well I guess the day will come when food Nazis come into the home and say "this is not good for you" and just take it out of the home. I think the freedom to choose what you eat appears to be the target of those who want to control every part of an individual's life. I can't believe the opinions of some that argue for the freedom to choose in other areas. Course they always seem to know what's best for others. Did it ever occur to any of them that some kids eat because they are depressed or to fill a void that is in their lives? You cannot tell me that fat kids do not know that

Please do not make this political. As for the schools teaching proper nutrition..They need to start in the school cafeteria. All they serve is pizza and nachos.

Sharing an article that I found interesting. I just might do a custom jean, I have such a hard time finding a pair that fits right..I am a funky height..Just shy of 5'4". http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=56878

Heart disease will come once they are adults, many kids are now getting type 2 diabetes..That was unheard of before. It typically didn't happen till you were over 40. Asthma, I was shocked at how many kids in the Atlanta area had it...I could barely breathe in the summer when I lived there. That is from the SMOG IMO. When I would lie down in bed at night I could barely swallow, now that I live out of state it doesn't happen anymore. Since you don't think it is 40% what would you say it is?

I don't think anything is being exagerated. 40% of kids are overweight. Keyword is CANCER....And lets add another one for good measure. DIABETES. It is the parents fault to an extent. Once they are teenagers you cant control what they eat as much. These kids are going to be the first generation that does not live as long as their parents and I find it sad. "What have scientists learned about the relationship between obesity and cancer? In 2001, experts concluded that cancers of the colon, breast (postmenopausal), endometrium (the lining of the uterus), kidney, and esophagus are a

I have lived it. My wedding dress was a 10. Now 22 years later I weigh more my dress is tight but yet I now wear a size 4 and 6 depending on the company. How you can you say that is false? I am old enough to live it and to have the clothes in my closet to prove it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanity_sizing

Good to note. I have noticed that a size 10 from 15 years ago is now a size 4 or 6. So lets make Americans think they are skinny by making the clothes bigger and putting a smaller size on it. Going back even further I remember Lucy 40's-50's times frame...saying she was a size 12 and that she weighed 128lbs.

They showed their faces, there was at least 3 different kids. I did find that wrong, what is the age of consent to be in a commerical?? http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Wellness/stop-sugarcoating-child-obesity-ads-draw-controversy/story?id=15273638

I was watching the news last night on ABC and there was a topic on overweight kids in GA 40% are overweight or obese. Have you guys seen the ad? They said Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta sponsored it. I think it is sad, but I can understand how it is happening.

I use 1lb of hamburger to make my meatballs...10ozs of grape jelly and one bottle of chili sauce. YUMMY

That is why I asked the questions? When you post a news article it is because you want to talk about it. So what are your thoughts?

So what is the point of this thread...Are you unhappy that our troops are home and out of harms way? Or is it you want them back in Iraq...For how many more years???????????????????? Please explain the ninja.

Defending people walking away from a DEBT.....Shaking my head even more...Good business sense would be putting a renter in the house so you can pay off your DEBT.

I've been told my oldest son looks like DH, youngest son looks like me and that my daughter looks like a mixture of us both. Both boys have dark brown hair and my daughter has reddish brown hair like me. All three have Brown eyes.

That is not the RIGHT thing to do...Shaking head at this one.... How about if you MUST have another home, go ahead and buy it and find a renter for your first home.

I have Metrocast...It is so bad it makes me miss COMCAST.

I'm asleep by 10PM I just watch in on ONDEMAND. I hate how I cant skip thru the commericals though............

They would rip everyone off. That is who my builder used. They wanted to charge me 8% when I had excellent credit. We said %%%%%%%%% and used our credit union for our Mortgage. Who cares if I didn't get any closing cost assistance?

Nope, I don't have one either. I can actually get a free one with my rewards credit card..I have enough points to get a 32 inch. But I'm to lazy, busy to bother...I guess I figure its just something else to move. Well if they want to rob my house, My renter might be there, and I didn't say what days I won't be at my current house. But I do get your point and that you are trying to look out for people

We are going skiing and tubing in PA...Well at least DH and the kiddos are..I may stay inside and get a massage instead http://www.7springs.com/

Awe CONGRATS! Love the name!!!!!!

I had contacts since I was 16, I barely wore them for the past 10 years. They were so dry. I got lasik 4 months ago, I highly recommend it!!!!! Now my 15 year old is wearing contacts. Thanks for the INFO.

He didn't get my vote, guess I'll be like a business owner and just have my renter foot the bill.

Oh I know you must be excited. Enjoy your time together!
