Whatever Happened to Parental Authority?

Parental AuthorityBy Rich Simon It seems astonishing that even just two or three decades ago, parents not only pretty much knew what was expected of them to turn their offspring into civilized adults, but they could actually count on society to back them up. Even more astounding, kids seemed to understand this, too. Even if they rebelled against, yelled about, or sullenly resented how “unfair” adults were, they seemed to acknowledge adult authority and realize that they would just have to wait until they turned 18 to get for themselves the keys to the kingdom of grown-up independence.

Health Issues
I get a lot of questions about using attuned eating with health related issues, such as diabetes.  You can read the article I co-authored for the magazine Diabetes Self-Management at: http://www.dietsurvivors.com/BaconMatz_Diabetes_EnjoyingFood.pdf

Health At Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight also has a wealth of research and information about weight, health, attuned eating and nutritional concerns.
