The Secret to Staying Slim

We have a problem in my house that involves my eight-year old son and food. He eats sooooooo fast that he's done with dinner before my husband and I barely sit down. We've explained to him that he needs to use his manners at the dinner table and shoveling in his food as fast as he can is not the best way to do this.

We've also explained that eating this fast could be bad for his health and that it may cause him to overeat because his stomach doesn't realize that it's full.

So I was relieved to find a possible solution to our problem. A Japanese woman claims the Asian secret to staying slim is by eating with chopsticks because it makes it harder to shovel food in and slows down the pace.

Problem solved. Chopsticks for the whole family.

FYI... Nancy blames me for this fast eating. She claims I fed him too fast as a baby. My own theory is he is a victim of genetics. Both Nancy and I like food too much!
