My mom had a healthy food and drink program. it was called " Get yer ass outta the house and dont come back in until lunch" We never had twinkies or junk food (mostly homemade cc cookies) , kool-aid was also not for every thirst. we drank water. " for free" in the house.

We ate at meal times and if we got a rare snack, it was celery sticks with peanut butter. we almost never ate in front of the T.V.

My healthy living campaign slogan would be “STOP the POP.”

Juice should be looked upon as a food, not a beverage. One four ounce glass with breakfast should be it for the day.

One way to lose weight is to stop drinking calories.

Our mom made Oatmeal for breakfast, tuna fish for lunch and meatloaf for dinner (fed 8 people with two pounds of hamburger).

Coffee pot was on 16 hours a day for the kid's ADHD.
