Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

If close to 20% of children are obese now, how much is the ratio going to go up when they grow up?!

I agree with you Deb. I know a lot of people think I am weird about not letting my kids drink juice very much, but I would rather give them a pieceo of candy or real fruit so that it is in moderation...if that makes sense. I think that too many parents are giving their kids juice so much cuz they think it is the best for them and it ends up kicking them in the butt.
