My word but that's young to be having so many problems. I can sympathize with you. I wish her parents understood that carbs are just sugar. In nature our bodies are designed for protein and vegetable intake. Fruits and other high carb food sources were seasonal and few and far between. There was no question of being on a low carb diet it seems. Now, all a carb-addict needs is a box of breakfast cereal. My downfall is always breads and potatoes, just like your daughter. But it's so unfair that children are treated like a "market" by advertisers, despite the apparent health risks to them. Okay, I'll get off my soap box now. I'll pray for you to receive wisdom in how to best deal with this. I know it's frustrating, but just listen to that still, small voice. You will do the right thing. Hang tough! Pepper
