RE: Re: Attitudes and Platitudes

[Guest guest]

I think that many people don't believe that diet has much to do with

anything so they think I am hurting my kids by taking away certain foods.

Also just the constant trying to give me or my kids foods that are illegal.

For example, I will say we don't eat any breads of any kind and they will

offer me a pretzel 20 minutes later. Or the teachers that feed all the kids

food during the day and think my child is deprived and make a sad face when

so and so brings in cupcakes and candy.

I think cooking dvds would be great! I would think that any of the bread

making, muffins, and yogurt would be the most beneficial.

How would you deal with outsiders who questioned a diabetic diet, a weight

loss diet,

for yourself? Is the difficulty over the fact that it's for your child? I

actually have the

problem of illegals when people offer my dogs grain treats which we always

decline. They

respect my refusal.

BTW: How many people think they would be helped by a DVD of SCD Cooking

lessons? I

have suggested this to some of our cooking class instructors and it may be

under

consideration.

If such a thing were made what are the types of recipes that would be most

helpful?
