[blparent] Healthy foods

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I wish I didn't have a sweet tooth.  I feel that having sweets withheld too 
much as a child, or having sweets used as a reward, or both, contributed to 
my love of sugary foods.  I can't say I've been completely successful, but 
I've tried to give Sarah sweets in moderation, after she's eaten healthy 
foods, and not to use them as a reward for good behavior or, worse than 
that, a bribe to elicit good behavior.

Cheesecake is to die for, but I can't eat much of it because my body doesn't 
tolerate dairy well.

Crispy Cream is also on my yum list, but there's only one around where I 
live, and it's not easy to get to.  Good thing, otherwise I'd never take off 
the weight I want to lose!

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, 
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist
