      - LOL. That's not so great. So basically your friends become uglier, not you who became prettier. I was looking for a Cinderella story!

- Eight months ago, my kids were the pickiest, unhealthy eaters imaginable. Yesterday, my kids were asked to be in a documentary about healthy eating -- as positive examples! I'm ridiculously proud of our family for having accomplished such a major turn-around.

    - We followed the plan outlined in _Disease Proof Your Child_ by Joel Fuhrman. Hate the title, love the content. It requires a serious commitment, though. I almost hesitate to recommend it. I think if we hadn't been so desperate, we'd have quit after two weeks.
