THE LAST OF MY “FOOD BLOGS” FOR A WHILE.

After blogs about the evils of excess added sugar, added trans fats, the obfuscation of ingredient lists, and manipulative marketing by food manufacturers  I find it easy and appropriate to finish up this series with pictures that capture more than I can write.

Wouldn’t it be great if parents were as paranoid about gun deaths – 500 children per year – as we are about peanut allergy deaths – 150 children and adults per year.

As a pediatrician with 45 years of experience and a grandfather, I think that the moment depicted here is much more important in the long run for the child than reading the % of trans fat or sugar content in the ingredients list.

    Your blog has a high dose of common sense which in 99% of issues with kids is the practical way to solve a problem. Too many parents panic and assume the worst instead of taking time to calm down and look for a simple solution to a problem. Keep up the good advice.
