Turning off the TV for Health & Healthy Weights

June 23, 2010

The more I think about it, the more I’m inclined to recommend getting rid of our TVs, or at least using them less.  Now that said, I’ll admit I’d be the biggest hypocrite in the world if I told other people to stop watching TV completely, because I definitely use mine on a daily basis.  [...]

Is Your Child’s Hot Lunch A Hot Mess?

April 6, 2010

It’s not [...]

Is Responsible Advertising an Oxymoron?

August 10, 2009

This is a short post today because if everything goes as planned, I’m flying back from an all-too-rare, all-too-short family vacation at my sister’s home where I got to see my daughter and spend time with the whole family together.  With the son off to college in a few weeks, and daughter off a few [...]

In Praise of Real Food

April 8, 2009

Spring has sprung, at least on the calendar.  It may still be snowing in your part of the world (as it is in mine), but we know the days of summer are just around the corner in the Northern Hemisphere.  For many of us that means gardens, farmers’ markets, seasonal produce, good food, good times.  [...]

On Calories, Restaurants & Healthy Eating

April 1, 2009
