The apparel and iPods sounds good ... but I`m not sure about giving young children supplements. Most 6yos work for stickers!

I was listening to some nutritionist on the Wall Street Journal Report, the other morning. She said, off-handely, and as a matter-of-fact, that "Nowadays, with so few people cooking food from scratch...." Then she went on to say that most people order out, eat out, or cook pre-cooked meals---convenience frozen dinners.

I was amazed.

One supplement I would consider giving young children is actual food. :-)

Yeah, it`s why I grew my child a garden. (That going nuts over greenery thing.)

She eats fresh veggies, cheese, and diced meats for lunch at the park.
The other kids ... I often see them eating those Lunchables and it makes me sad. It`s not even real cheese! It`s "processed cheese food".

Another thing that bothers me is how many people tell me they "don`t have time" to cook from scratch. Then I watch them a) spend half an hour extra shopping for pre-cooked frozen meals, and spend time to microwave them; b) spend even more time cleaning up errors and confusion caused by doing too many things.

As the Bible says, "Give a rabbit a piece of lettuce and you feed it for a day. But teach a rabbit to fish, and you feed it for a lifetime!"

Learning to cook isn`t all that difficult.

I tried to follow the link on your website but it didn`t load.  I am very interisted in learning more about your products.  I am currently working on a project that has similar goals, but more on the activity end rather than the nutrition end. 

I have collected a bunch of information about childhood obesiety/inactivity and would be happy to share if you (or anybody else) would like to see it.  It will all be publically available when we complete our site in July, until then it is subject to migration.... send me an e-mail/pm and I will send you a link to its current location.
