I'm am inspired by her clear thinking and determination. I think I will take some responsibility for my community as President Obama is calling for and work on starting a similar program at my children's school here in Vallejo, CA. I'd like to get rid of the candy and cookie sale fundraisers. I am also personally addicted to sugar and I recognize that something needs to be done! <i>Good for you, Audrey! Hopefully more responsible citizens will follow your courageous and bold lead. :) --Jimmy</i> I agree that Dr. Sanders-Butler should be considered for our next Sec. of Education.

This should be implemented all over the country. I think they should go further, as well, and remove high-glycemic-index foods made from white flour, corn, and potatoes, since they have a similar effect of blood sugar. Sugar-free, low index foods like nuts, etc make great snacks. And for special treats? Cookies and cakes and candies can now be made without sugar or flour. Almond flour, splenda/stevia and whey are fine substitutes. There is no reason for kids to feel ANY deprivation on a no-sugar, low glycemic diet. Plus, lowcarb prevents colds and flu! P.S. I totally disagree with the author about condoms. In countries that make condoms universally available everywhere, there is no higher incidence of earlier sexual activity. But there are fewers STDs and unwanted pregnanacies. What an inspiration. This should be implemented all over the country.

Virginia McMillan, NZ <i>In America, it hasn't happened yet, Virginia. Sad really. We could lead this trend for the rest of the world if somebody would take this experiment from Browns Mill and show the positive benefits.
