Walt Disney World Menus Evolving with Healthful Choices
Since I've been working on a series of stories featuring the efforts being made on behalf of Walt Disney Wold in Florida, to provide healthier meals and a grand assortment of opportunities for physical fitness, I thought I'd share this fantastic press release I received with you.

Most of us have a few foods that are without a doubt off limits. For me, it's chicken wings. And while I've been known to indulge from time to time, I try to keep to down to once a year or less because oh. my. goodness.
I love potatoes, whether they are yellow, white or red. Add some fresh green beans and various spices (plus garlic) into fresh potatoes and you have a very healthy meal starter (if not a complete meal).

Ladies, next time you find yourself overtaken by irrational cravings for anything sweet, salty, savory or just plain bad for you, check the calendar--it's probably that dreaded PMS rearing it's ugly head yet again.

Formula was too "dangerous and unhealthy" for her. Nursing 100% is completely great with me, and just FYI ... I nursed both of my children for about a year as well.
