NorwayMom39350.2279976852good stuff, i wish my parents had this back when i needed it, i feel healthy, am never sick, usually have energy, and enjoy being outdoors, but i fear i did not grow up right cause i would not eat, im sooo scrawny, to this day, i eat plenty, never have i eaten as good as i do currently (aside from the gallon of Dr. Pepper I drink daily) but its serious, if your little 1 isnt eating now, when they grow up they could end up a twig like me, im embarressed to go swimming around many ppl cause i dont wanna take my shirt off, heh, i even wear jeans in the summer, never shorts hi- the first and third links are broken. thanks for posting these!

Thanks for letting me know about the broken links.  They're fixed now. 

For some reason, the forum's computers often add a blank space into html addresses.  Broken links can usually be fixed by removing blank spaces (especially ones that show up in the address field as %20).

I'm bumping this old topic since picky eating has been mentioned frequently on Stickboy's sensory topic.
