talking to your kids about food

Here's a link to an article I wrote last year about talking to kids about food. It's on the Wedge coop home page again in light of the recent news stories about more children being diagnosed with eating disorders. How can we deal with food and fitness in a positive, developmentally appropriate way?I share one of my favorite stories about little Sally at our local park and how her Dad took health recommendations too far..How have you seen parents doing what "the experts" recommend, when it clearly was not the "right" thing to do?
