You gotta be fkin kidding me. HOT DOGS?????
Christ! :sadwave:
Expensive clothes and cheap food. Lucky kid
Feed that beautiful little girl what she deserves!
What is the normal dinner for Augusta? I'm pretty sure Shayne would eat just about anything - she just like hot dogs more than anything else (with the possible exception of onion straws)
We skipped the Chicken Pox vaccination at her 1 year wellness visit, 65. Any take from a medical viewpoint on whether or not that is a good idea?
my 13 month old eats everything we put in front of her, and since we don't eat hot dogs, neither does she. LOTS of fruits and veggies-her favorites are bananas, apples and carrots right now...
I'm weak in my knowledge on vaccinations. There's so much more info out now on them than there was when my children were getting them. There are studies that link autism to vaccinations. My daughter didn't have the chicken pox vaccination, my son did, and they both have had chicken pox. My son's case wasn't quite as severe though.
Truly, agent and happy hippo probably are more versed on the current literature than I.
I lean toward what my pediatrician recommends, but I trust him, and I know he is extremely up to date on all the new information regarding vaccinations.
I have a 12 year old with boys calling the house regularly
so I know the feeling. I'm not afraid (nor is her mom) of talking to her about the real world and sex and what boys want at all costs :mj07: though, so I hope and pray she makes wise decisions when I'm not around.
Wonder how many times I've heard, ewww!!!! Daaaddddd
:142smilie
I think Hippo read 14 books about it. She probably knows more about vaccines than the people who make them.
Augusta isn't old enough for the chicken pox vac yet, but she won't be getting the vaccine.
She's not quite 6 months yet, so she has been breast fed only:shrug: Starting last week, we are giving her some rice-cereal every night which she LOVES.
I can promise fkin hot dogs won't be on the menu!
Hot Dogs: Questions and Answers
Three different studies have come out in the past year, finding that the consumption of hot dogs can be a risk factor for childhood cancer.
Peters et al. studied the relationship between the intake of certain foods and the risk of leukemia in children from birth to age 10 in Los Angeles County between 1980 and 1987. The study found that children eating more than 12 hot dogs per month have nine times the normal risk of developing childhood leukemia. A strong risk for childhood leukemia also existed for those children whose fathers' intake of hot dogs was 12 or more per month.
Researchers Sarusua and Savitz studied childhood cancer cases in Denver and found that children born to mothers who consumed hot dogs one or more times per week during pregnancy has approximately double the risk of developing brain tumors. Children who ate hot dogs one or more times per week were also at higher risk of brain cancer.
Bunin et al, also found that maternal consumption of hot dogs during pregnancy was associated with an excess risk of childhood brain tumors.
Q. How could hot dogs cause cancer?
Hot dogs contain nitrites which are used as preservatives, primarily to combat botulism. During the cooking process, nitrites combine with amines naturally present in meat to form carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds. It is also suspected that nitrites can combine with amines in the human stomach to form N-nitroso compounds. These compounds are known carcinogens and have been associated with cancer of the oral cavity, urinary bladder, esophagus, stomach and brain.

Could you ask her to drop by this thread and give me a few more thoughts on the whole vaccination thing? Thanks!
65--
thanks for the input; My wife is the one that is doing all the studies re: vaccinations and there is some very troubling chit about many of them.
:iagree:
or bologna or white bread or any of that other highly processed crap that isn't good for you.
My daughter loved rice cereal as well. One of the staples of her diet now is rolled oats with a bit of cinammon and natural applesauce.

We have nitrate-free, organic hot dogs. Costco actually sells them, and they are really some of the best hot dogs out there.
Vaccinations -- there is a TON of data on both sides of the autism argument, so it's really according to who you talk to.
One of our friends just went to the dentist to get her metal fillings replaced with ceramic (I think??) ones because they are trying to conceive and she doesn't want to cause autism...
Those extremes are just strange to me, but in the end I guess I don't really know what is right.

No, everything is tainted. I think if you look at the cases of cancer and other problems such as thyroid disease where the number of cases have dramatically risen in the last 50 years, you can see that our environment is polluting our bodies. However, there are levels of "bad" and I would say McDonalds is on the very bottom.
There are pretty strict standards for getting an organic label, and while it might be a sham, I can usually tell a difference in taste alone. What do I like the best? Buying fruits and vegetable from the local farmers market or even better CSA farms. Or even better, growing it myself!
I'm sure my daughter, just like us, will not eat 100% organic, but you better believe she will for the first few years while her body and brain are developing at a rapid rate!

We do all three; although I was a bit disappointed in the CSA we chose this year...not as good a variety in the veggies compared to the one we used last season...would have bought from the same one as last year but they got out of the CSA business...Our garden isn't the biggest at approx 50x50 foot, but its big enough to provide us garden-fresh tomatoes, green beans, peppers and beets all winter long.
