I wrote this story last year, but as Easter and Passover rolled around again, I thought it worth repeating. So much so I put it on The Huffington Post. It's not so much about the particular holiday as it is about family relations when diabetes is in the mix.
For some food and mind fodder, you may know that British rising food network chef, Jamie Oliver, has a new reality show on TV called "Food Revolution." He's trying to get healthier foods in our school cafeterias. It was quite trying with his first intervention in Appalachia's Huntington, West Virginia.
Not only were the kids clueless about what a vegetable is (and you can't blame them as they haven't hardly seen one) but the parents seemed equally ignorant, and the lunchroom school cafeteria employees indifferent to the empty calories they serve up each day. Have a read.
