For many years we have been bathed in messages from the health industry, government and food processors that we need to eat foods low in fat. Moreover, industry has been telling us that we can eat the junk food we like because they’ve created low fat versions that will keep the fat off.
I was pretty horrified to come across this advert, in the Canadian magazine Macleans, promoting milk....
It is created by the Dairy Farmers of Canada (who will certainly assert their copyright), and whilst it states nothing that is legally wrong, it is shocking. It's shocking when you've learnt that milk contains several substances that are not good for human health. It's like Philip Morris complaining that Canadians are smoking enough cigarettes.
It can be really challenging trying to live a normal life with very young children. They need to eat at fixed intervals, can't always travel really quickly and need a whole lot of paraphernalia taken with them. It's not easy!
Following on from yesterday's blog post about how children should be bored, the author would like to give her own personal experience. As the mother of two young children, her decision is not to allow her children to watch television. At all.

It can be exhausting just watching all of the Olympic athletes trying to beat their best performances during the games! One wonderful way to unwind, for athletes and spectators alike, is to take a spa.
Life can seem difficult when we need to juggle with children, partners and work. Everyone needs time for themselves. We love being with our family, friends and colleagues, but sometimes we just need some time to relax by ourselves or to accomplish something that's important to us.
You've probably heard that the Obamas created an organic garden in the grounds of the White House? They're even going to promote organic food! Isn't that great?
How many times have you heard the phrase that "children are so delightful?" It's often heard around expectant parents, so to reassure them of the new life they are about to embark on.

Yoga is a wonderful discipline that enables us to listen to ourselves, contemplate and bring the body and mind together.
So what's the issue with the episiotomy, everyone has one, right?
