You raised a VERY valied point. When I am out shopping, walking etc I see children as young as 6 months who are obese and the parent (usually the mother) calls it 'puppy fat'....OR 'he/she has a good appetite.....APPETITE??? For what? I wonder?? It is worrying as these children are just doing as they are told and with their parents not being aware of the implications. I have even been consulted by mothers telling me that their babies have been put on 'fattening up' diets by the baby clinic as they are 'underweight'....to me they loccked fine if not already obese....

 I have a grandaughter of 18 months. She is tall, lean, healthy. Aiyana will only eat what her mother (or me for that matter) gives her and that is organic food, and she is still breast-fed (I see babies having bottles everywhere???), NO sugar, NO fizzy, sugary drinks, NO additives, NO vaccinations, NO medical records.....Aiyana is GORGEOUS and I am proud of my daughter fo being such a good, responsible mother. And when Aiyana hits the teenage years, it will have to be her choice. Also, I have raised 5 children (now 29, 24, 22, 17, 15). None of them are obese, they have great teeth with no fillings. Medical records are as good as none-existing and they enjoy a healthy life-style.
