Mind you I dont see why there should be a problem of a pregnant woman eating nuts, I mean her old man shouldn't be deprived should he

I read a terrible story a couple of months ago about a 4 y/o girl who choked to death in a supermarket, her Granny was letting her eat grapes whilst they walked about and one got stuck..
I do cut them in half now although most of the time he gets them out of the fridge himself.

my son also had his first spoonful of peanut butter at 6 months old..along with soft boiled eggs, actually he had raw eggs in my carbonara sauce (which was his favourite meal for ages) and everything else I was told not to give him..(chicken balti was another of his favourites)
my advice, read nothing about babies and what to feed them and you'll be fine

Apparently babies that grow up in houses where the mother is incredibly houseproud and clears away cobwebs and dust as soon as it gathers are more likely to have allergies to dustmites and so on. It bodes well for my child anyway 
As soon as my kid is on solids, it'll eat whatever we're eating and be grateful for it. Even if it swells up like a sodding balloon

The influence of drug companies in America is massive and books about how it is in their best interests to keep America reaching for the pills are all food for thought. There are definitely some more sinister motives behind all those bottles of pills on the shelves.
"Generation Rx" by Greg Critser and 'The Truth About the Drug Companies' by Dr M. Angell
are books I've only read excerpts from but are both touching on the subject of how profitable it is to keep the nation thinking they're sick.

The Evil Triad of Insurance, Food and Drug companies. Healthy citizens eat less, pay less insurance and spend less on drugs. Sickly neurotic citizens eat lots of high fat (and high fructose corn syrup which is proven to cause obesity) containing foods, need high insurance premiums and spend a load on drugs. As a CEO or interested party in these companies which sort of citizens would you prefer to have?

Re: Any one else notice?
There's a book called 'natural cures they don't want you to know about' written by Kevin Trudeau. I'm not sure if this guy is genuine or not but he does talk alot of sense. I've noticed recently that the media has had it in for him and are saying he's a convicted felon which makes me wonder if there is a motive for them to discredit him. I have pasted an ex-cert describing his book.
Kevin Trudeau blows the lid off a nest of deception and double standards concerning general and individual health in this new updated book: "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You To Know About". Mr. Trudeau has risked government prosecution to bring you the full story of an intricate conspiracy and unholy alliance.
The revolutionary book, "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About" by Kevin Trudeau, talks about the reasons you are sick and how the American Medical Association, Federal Trade Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, and the pharmaceutical cartels are suppressing information about natural remedies and natural cures for virtually every disease. Buy the book and learn about the unholy alliance between the federal agencies, the FDA and the FTC, and the pharmaceutical industry and how they work together to suppress the truth about natural healing.
Learn about natural cures for over 50 specific diseases in Kevin's 2nd edition of this highly controversial book. Also, learn about the natural ways to cure yourself of virtually every disease.
