This does not seem to be a blog but an advertisement, which Patch has too much of already.

Using smaller plates is a great idea. I have lost forty pounds in the last year, mostly by cutting…Read More portion size in half. After my body adjusted to a different version of feeling "full," it has been easy to create new eating habits. Here is a quiz that can help you learn appropriate portion sizes: http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/quizzes_questions.asp?quizid=32

Congratulations, Laurie! The Cornell U Professor Brian Wansink, whose research Learning Life cites…Read More above, is all about shaping perception about portion size, appearance, etc. to encourage people to eat less and better. Learning Life also has a nutrition quiz you might be interested in (http://letlearninglive.org/quiz/nutrition-facts/), and more health quizzes to come, all free at our website. Congratulations again and keep it up, Laurie!

What a fabulous community resource.
Everyone loves a good book! Even better, a free good book!…Read More Even BETTER better? A free good book mommy and daddy don't know about whilst the youngins read away under the covers. Parental involvement should be null and void at this point--it takes a village people.
I hope that in the future this Library and fountainhead of free ideals can expand into the sacred community village by offering free abortion pills to underage girls without parental consent. It is just another chapter in the times of our lives and should be represented on the streets.

And do we carry our groceries out of the store in a "bag" or in a "sack"?

No need for grains when she is getting fiber, natural sugar and vitamins form the tomatoes,…Read More strawberries and carrots. Agreed. Water bottle is not the best choice. Thank you for the link.

Reston Mom, look into current science on whole grains. Not something to build a diet on. Your body…Read More reacts to processed flour as if it were sugar, so it is best to keep it to an absolute minimum. Feed them as much organic produce as they want, limit fruit, and keep their foods clean, meaning grass fed and wild caught in addition to organic.

Treating mental illness and catching it early is particularly important in a State like ours that…Read More has concealed carry gun laws. If we look at the examples of murders in Virginia that were committed by people with concealed carry permits, we will see that they frequently involved the murder of family members. Perhaps early intervention and treatment might have saved lives in these cases. We know the chances of strengthening gun laws in Virginia are next to nil, so we had better start looking at ways to make sure that the people who legally have the guns are mentally and emotionally equipped to do so.
