Barbara,

How lovely to hear from you!

Maybe you have a fellow traveler on the journey in the person at that desk. And I hope your daughter finds someone else who has learned they're sugar sensitive too -- it will happen at some point.

Years of doing the food does make such a difference.

: Hi, all! I don't visit here much
: anymore, but I will always 'do the
: food' - it's been about 10 years
: for me and life is good! This
: program literally saved my life.

: I felt compelled to share the
: following story with you today...

: I'm interning at SNAP-Ed
: (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
: Program - Education division) as a
: Nutrition Educator this summer.
: It's very basic nutrition
: education. The last site I went to
: was a career center for the
: unemployed. I can't wait to go
: back because behind the desk of a
: person who was out that day were a
: stack of 4 or 5 books and Potatoes
: Not Prozac was very clearly one of
: them! It's funny how exciting it
: is to see that the word is out
: beyond the community that I know!
: I can't wait to ask them about
: it!!

: As an aside, my daughter (10.5 years
: old and on the program for the
: last eight of them) was just
: saying how if she had three wishes
: the first would be that she wasn't
: addicted to sugar so that she
: could eat it just once in a while,
: and that the only reason it's so
: hard is that she doesn't know
: anybody else that eats the way she
: does. :( Thankfully she has always
: understood why we eat this way and
: she does appreciate the benefits
: of it.

: Thanks for listening, and I wish you
: all radiance that's within us -
: it's such a gift to find it and
: share it!
