You provide many reasons for your child to look up to you, m'Dear. Still, I applaud your self-evaluation and conviction to make some changes. Here's a recommendation: Go from Whippets to Skinny Cow ice cream treats. Check 'em out.....

Since this blog appears on the "Telegraph" website, I thought the title referred to content relating to "The Hippo," sort of like when Don Johnson, advertising for Diet Coke, was caught on the set of "Miami Vice" drinking a Diet Pepsi. I was wrong of course, the "Hippo" in the title is used to reference the size of the animal not what is on the reading agenda!

The best you can do is teach moderation and selection, as the Madison Avenue gang is out there, constantly touting poison as health food.

We provided the hippy/healthy role model, yet our kids now eat cr@p and smoke...


I weep, yet I will live long enough to watch those same kids have kids, and watch that old wheel come 'round again...


BTW, you are a great mom!

After reading your article it seems that you are the same common mother. I think its natural that mother will worry for health of her kids

Once your baby reaches the age of 2 they no longer need the milk fat of 2%. milk. (the bad fat). I would switch her to skim. That would be one way of eliminating some of the not so good stuff. She should be able to get good fats from other things she is eating.
