Jane Pauley?

Didn't catch JP's show, but I'd heard the previews for it. Sorry I missed
it.

You are doing a wonderful thing for your grandkids, Sandy! I really commend
you for teaching your grandchildren about how to make healthy food choices.
I think it is perfectly fine, too, to allow them the whole grains, high
fiber cereals, fruit, and veggies. Children's metabolisms are generally in
better shape, IMHO, than adults like us. I really think that they NEED
those beneficial carbs for their growth. But always in moderation!

Again, IMHO!

junk food,,,,,,the kid's are less hungry,,,,and they are starting to make
healthy choices of their own.

My youngest son went from 230 to 195 due to the change in food stock in our
house. He's 19 and I started low carbing in January.
