Thanks go to Dr. David Katz, founding Director of the Yale Prevention Research Center and Chief Editor of the scientific journal Childhood Obesity, for encouraging me in this direction. I “met” David last year via Internet correspondence related to the obesity epidemic. His correspondence and friendship has been a welcome addition to my life.

For a list of my articles written prior to this move to The Huffington Post, see the Table of Contents at the bottom right of this page.
