Bad info for children/parents

I live in Knox council and we get this magazine free in the local library etc called, 'Your Child in Knox'. Am sure they have it in other areas, with 'Your Child in...'/insert different name.

Anyway, they had this article called, 'Smart Snacking!' that is written by "an accredited practicing dietician & accredited nutritionist".

It's all about low-fat this and low-fat that. ie. low-fat yogurt, low-fat dip, low-fat milk, low fat cheese sticks etc are all suggested.

Gillespie wisely pointed out that there is no need to do the low-fat thing but just have whole products. The lactose naturally found in dairy is an OK form of sugar.

I get mighty tired of that low-fat push and think that this dietitian/nutritionist should know better. Have often found the advice of those professionals, who one would think would be up with the latest knowledge, to be wanting.

Grrrr! Leading astray the poor parents of Knox (and other places) like that!
