		<description>I couldn't understand some parts of this article The Age of Consumer Diligence, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.</description>

		<description>Thanks Therese

I agree that Bob is right on the money about advertising and food production being a problem for everyone.  

As for ADHD, that is way outside of my field of experience. However, I have a friend who had great success with changing the diet of her daughter, so that she avoided all artificial preservatives, colors and flavors. She started the journey by reading a book by Sue Dengate, called 'Fed Up' - her website is www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info.

That might give you some information.

		<description>I have listened to "The Age of Consumer Diligence" audio and downloaded your new book, Weight Loss Surgery Secrets.  Finally, an independent voice amidst all the marketing and advertising hype!  It is excellent.

I was just wondering whether you could recommend a link for ADHD in children.  My daughter has a lot of problems with processed food and I think many of the issues are similar to your concerns.  Bob Toovey (above) hits the nail on the head when he says food production and advertising is a problem for everyone. 

Thanks again for your book.  I have recommended it to my weight loss group.</description>

		<description>I wanted to comment on those who say that there is a choice on what we eat. Well yes I guess we do but that depends on your financial position. The poor can not afford the food that is good for you, limited budget means cheap food.

Another thing to consider is food labelling. There are laws for listing what goes inside the food we eat but they are not forceful enough to make the manufactures and suppliers list EVERYTHING. 

Advertising is everywhere and in my own opinion, more money and effort is spent on advertising to the young than ever before. 

It is sad to say that it seems that only the 'over weight' is shouting loud about our diets, what constitutes as food and what ingredients are being used. Surely the production of food is a concern for everyone what ever your size. 

This eBook makes it's point well, indeed it's many points. Including weather we are victims. We are all victims - overweight or now. We have such little control over the advertising that we see everyday and what goes in to the food chain. 

Keep up the good work Julianne</description>

		<description>Thank-you Julianne for your response.   

I am pleased that you did post my comment and respond to it.   To be honest, I did not expect you to at all because the intial information that I was able to get from the article seemed ANTI WLS. 

I understand exactly what you are saying.  I agree that each person needs to do their own research, and I also believe that it should not be a quick and easy/fast decision.   I believe that WLS is NOT for everyone, nor is it a quick fix.  While I did have WLS and my health has benefitted immensely from it, I will tell people that it is not easy, it is life changing, it is MAJOR surgery, and most of all it is VERY PERSONAL.  

Being Honest with ourselves is not the easiest thing to do....but we must.</description>
