Trim Kids
But this isn't just
a kiddie diet book.
It's a training
manual for parents
trying to raise
healthy children
in an age of Happy
Meals, satellite
TV, the Internet,
and Playstation
2. With enough support
and encouragement,
the authors assure
us, kids of all
sizes can eat right,
stay active, and
get the most out
of their bodies.

Recipes for the
Holidays

aimed at people
with diabetes, this
is the kind of heart-healthy
food we should all
be eating.

of Public Health
as well as a professor
at Harvard Medical
School.

rigorous scientific

bad trade-off for
some definitive
information, I thought.
