How are we feeding the little and big girls in our lives?

This article by David Katz MD, of the Turn The Tide Foundation, www.turnthetidefoundation.org , and Director, Yale University Prevention Research Center, has a few things to say about my topic here, http://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20130508112850-23027997-breas.... It is about childhood food and its effect on the development of breast cancer later in life.

There is also a very interesting Blog entry of his about a boarding school he visited recently, http://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20130509164912-23027997-all-f... . This is "a boarding school that preferentially addresses the needs of middle and high-school students with severe obesity and related health problems." Inspiring stuff!

You can subscribe to David Katz' blog. It is written in language that anyone can understand. It fills me with hope for the future, when there are people of this calibre at the head of major organisations, who think like this, use information in this way, who espouse these values, and extol these programs and this research.
