'Put fat children on Atkins diet'

I prefer: Help families with overweight children learn to eat better and get
more excercise.

Jeff's rules of food:

1) No arguements at the dinner table. ((s)he who starts and arguement leaves
the table).

2) No mentioning how much or how little one eats at the table.

3) All food is eaten and all drink (except water) is drunk in designated
areas (e.g., kitchen, dining room table).

4) No food in front of the TV/computer.

5) Only two hours of recreational computer, TV and video game use per day,
combined.

6) Little unhealthy food is brought into the house (unhealthy food includes
chips, cookies, cake)

7) When you can walk, you walk (e.g., if the grocery store is two blocks
away, you walk, not ride.

8) The family goes to the park, church, etc., together.
