		<description>You make some interesting points, Michael. As parents we all need occasional reminders that the best way to teach our kids is to set a good example with our own behavior, and that includes having a positive self-image. Even parents who are trying to lose (or gain) a few pounds should avoid putting themselves down in front of their children. This can lead to a child equating success -- or even being lovable -- with looking a certain way. And that is not healthy!</description>

		<description>Absolutely not.  As the father of an 8 year old son and a 6 year old daughter, I don&#039;t expect either one to understand what a &quot;diet&quot; is as most adults don&#039;t understand what it is.  What I prefer my children to learn is how to make healthy choices for themselves.  They understand what good food choices are, and they understand that it&#039;s better for them to play outside than to sit on the couch and play video games.  That&#039;s all I can ask of them as a parent, and I can feel that I&#039;ve armed them with the right information.  

The key to all of this, in my opinion, is active participation and leading by example.  Every child has some sort of anxiety over their appearance, and they need reinforcement that they have a source of unconditional love.  Body image, social acceptance,  and food aren&#039;t always directly related as the author seems to suggest.  I&#039;d rather show my children what healthy choices are, and demonstrate them at home,  than to have them pick up a book and adopt someone else&#039;s idea.</description>

		<description>Thank you Chef Don! My fondest memories as a child were helping my grandfather in his backyard garden. I believe that watching, learning about, and participating in cultivating a garden has immense benefits to our students.</description>
