Thanks, , for the article.

It's a pretty good article, and there were a lot of good comments (didn't

get to read them all). I was also glad to hear some comments that address

sensory problems (and were included in the editor's picks). One part that

really caught my attention was about dieting:

" Parents who are trying to lose weight should be aware of how their dieting

habits can influence a child's perceptions about food and healthful eating.

In one study of 5-year-old girls, one child noted that dieting involved

drinking chocolate milkshakes — her mother was using Slim-Fast drinks.

Another child said dieting meant " you fix food but you don't eat it. "

Not having grown up in a family of dieters, this was a very interesting

observation. I need to look into that study more.

The down side is that the article didn't mention a registered dietitian (or

whether the child nutrition professor was a registered dietitian).
