Have you read the piece in the Times yesterday on the two young girls who are making headlines in the half marathon distance? Two sisters, aged ten and twelve, were on the front page of the sports section, with the question posed, “too much, too soon?” in reference to whether or not it was […]

Read More ›I can understand the thinking that old fashioned oatmeal might be a good breakfast for kids. Don’t agree with the grains, of course, however, it’s easy to see why one might think a hearty bowl of oats and fresh berries might be a better way to start the day compared to a bowl of […]
