I went to a nutrition class conducted by an RN. 3 days thing. She was sveldt. It was all about portions, as in, "Never a WHOLE banana, just HALF". And "Not a whole or HALF avocado, just a SLICE." And "Only the portion the size of what fits in the palm of your hand."

When we were filing out with our farewells, I said, "You are THIN because you were BORN that way, your parents, genes."

Of course, my rudeness was cut down to size. She fixed her intense, watering eyes on me and said, "I became a nurse because my child was born with Type 1."
