Three food stories

This morning I happened to pick three related news stories to browse. Just look at these headlines (from FoxNews.com):

• More Fast Food Ads on Black-Oriented TV, Study Shows
• Many Kids Too Heavy for Car-Safety Seats
• Study: More Children to Become Overweight

Do you see heredity at play here or is it lifestyle?

To the first, my answer is this: You control what you watch; be selective and let the advertisers know you don't appreciate their tricks.

Secondly, avoid the overfeeding/under-nourishment syndrome. For example, let the calves drink the cows' milk and the little baby boys and girls their mama's.

And lastly, here's your chance to make the prophecy not come true for you.
You can always do something about what's controlable. Proper diet and exercise is the definitive answer to avoiding being overweight. I know it works!
