Dear Gillian,

My family faithfully watches “You Are What You Eat”. We have learned a lot just by watching how you help unhealthy Britains change their diets and turn their lives around. My mother will no longer allow us to have white bread, my little sister and I are not allowed to buy school lunch, we no longer have sodas except on a rare occasion and that is only for a treat.

We eat fresh fruit, are only allowed to have 100% fruit juice with our lunches and we read labels. We also try to watch for high fructose corn syrup and stay away from that as much as we can.

My typical lunch will consist of a salad, either an orange or strawberries, and either fruit juices, vitamin water, or Propel water. I will sometimes take cheese or make a turkey sandwich. Some of my friends have begun to harass me (but in a friendly way) telling me I will turn into a rabbit before long while others beg me to bring them lunch as well.

We started this healthy way of diet because every member of my family has begun to have health problems. In order not to compound them with poor diet, we’ve made a radical change.

Sincerely,
Cailey
