Yes, and then there are the commercials for milk
helping with PMS.  My hubby thinks they are hilarious
and keeps teasing me that he needs to stock up on
milk.

I like the low carb food pyramid.. much more fun:

Yup, this is what I do.  Unfortunately my hubby and
nanny don't understand low carb and are not interested
in learning, so I have to be the fanatic in the family
that gets my son to eat right.  But it's as worthwhile
battle in my book!  If my son stays healthy and slim
his whole life he will have a better life overall, and
it will help keep his mind clear for learning and
more.

Sounds good!  It would be way too much sugar for me
with all that stuff since I'm trying to lose weight.
YOu are lucky you can eat like that!
