Over-medicated Kids!

For those of us who are parents or teachers, we know that there are a lot of kids out there who are over-medicated.  Yes, there are children who genuinely need to be treated for ADD or ADHD, because without medication they can not conduct a normal life, but I would guess that about half of the children that are on medication for these 'conditions' does not need to be.  I just perused an article that was in my RSS Feed from NPR about diet and the connection to ADHD, and I really like where research is headed.  I am a big proponent of how much diet and exercise can effect your life, and here is a strong correlation between the two!  Read the article, Diet and ADHD, and comment!

Now that's a diet

I just came across this article:  Marathoner on 'McDonald's Diet'.  Now that's what I call a diet!  And really, he is not eating that badly, for McDonald's.  Now, if he were on the Big Macs and Supersized Fries for every meal diet, he would be in trouble!
