What a great article on Sweet Tea. Being a born and bred Southern Gal, I can attest that no one can possibly sweeten their tea like we do! I don't always drink mine sweetened with sugar though, and usually opt for an artificial sweetener to save on the calories. But when I do make real sweet tea, it's about a cup to a cup and a half of sugar for a gallon of tea. I love mine with lots of lemon too...or even what we southerners call 1/2 and 1/2 - half sweet tea and half lemonade. YUM!

I actually read that article about Children's Menus in the NYT. I think they made a great point. If you raise your child on chicken fingers and grilled cheese, you're setting them up to be picky eaters, unadventurous and possibly obese.

So agree with the kids menus! There's really no reason (aside from allegeries or dietary restrictions)kids can't eat smaller portions of grown-up food. And don't get me started on parents who cook separate meals for the kids at home.
