What is the reason behind giving children 1 years of age whole milk rather than 2% or skim milk?

My father and I were discussing this earlier today. He feels that it is just a bunch of baloney and that I should just get whatever milk I feel like getting. (I personally drink and use 2%, so i buy both whole milk and 2% right now.) I just remember being told and reading that when a child switches to cow’s milk, it should be Whole Milk. What is the reasoning behind those statements? Why is it better than 2% milk or Skim milk for someone at that age? At what point should a child stop drinking whole milk?

I was told that whole milk has more nutrients and fats that a growing child needs. It’s also thicker than 2% which allows the child to drink it better, they think of it more like formula. If you have a fat baby, 2% is better because it will allow them to lose some of that baby fat sooner. Personally, I used formula for the first year, then whole milk until mine was 2, then switched over to 2%.

Question on Supermarkets in Egypt (Alexandria)?

September 292009

Do the large supermarkets or markets in general in Alexandria Egypt carry some of the same products that American supermarkets do?

Specifically:

Skim Milk, Evaporated Milk, Condensed Milk, Sour Cream, Pasta Sauce in Bottle for Spaghetti, Stocks-Chicken/Beef Already Packaged….etc

Can vegetables be found in a frozen foods section? (Peas, String Beans) & American Style Milk Ice Creams-Vanilla

And Cheeses: Specifically *MOZZARELLA* and CHEDDAR CHEESE
-Cream Cheese
-Canned Beans or do they only come fresh where I must boil to cook them?

All these items are sold in large supermarkets in Alexandria.

Here are the names of supermarkets where you definately will find them:
Carfour, Metro, Zahran.

In small grocery shops you will find most of these items. The shop carries items that are in demand in its area. So in a some areas grocery shops carry all of these items, and in supermarkets you will find them all for sure.
Good luck.

Why do men not read everything you write,instead they skim over?

September 292009

I always have been real communicative but can never seem to find a guy who is,but yet they are the ones who don’t want drama.How come the advice given is for the typical guy.My partner is not the typical guy so how do I get him to tell me the truth?

You need to read Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus by John Gray. Its really easy to read as its written as if men and women originally came from different planets, with differents rules etc, he explains what Men hear from Women and what messages we get from what men say and do! It really is an eye opener. Look on Amazon for it, hes written loads of other relationship books but the one above is the one you want to buy.
Let me know what you think after youve read it. Good Luck

How can I find good questions to answer?

September 292009

I like Yahoo! Answers, but there are too many silly questions asked by pre-teens who spend way too much time on the Internet. (Most of the stuff they ask aren’t really questions, or should be asked in person to their parents or a peer.) Those superfluously punctuated questions are distracting and take way too much time to skim through. Do you have any suggestions on how to screen those out when trying to find quality questions to answer?
Also, most questions are pretty simple and can be answered if the asker chose to do a little internet research! It’s not that hard.

I suggest using the Advanced search option (click on "Advanced" next to the Search box).
There are several filters to choose from, and there’s one you can use to exclude certain words; if you know which words to put in the filter, you’ll get rid of many of the "kiddie" questions.
Also, if you observe YA, or your category of choice, for a while, you will see patterns such as a certain kind of questions being posted at a certain time (after school hours, for example).
And lastly, get yourself some good Contacts. I often find interesting Qs because my Contacts star them.

I buy skim milk and it makes my husband made and says it’s not good for the kids as they need the fat in milk?

Our kids went directly to what we were drinking. Skim milk. They don’t need fat. They get it from way too many other sources, not the least of which is cheese, and most every kid eats cheese.

One hamster left…?

September 262009

My female hamster seems to have eaten 2 hamsters and the other 2 died as she is not feeding them anymore.. she has completely lost interest in them and now i only have 1 left which is 3 days old and i’ve had to remove it from the mother as i want to try and keep it alive myself.. Probably won’t work but if i put it in with the mother it will just die anyway like the rest… I was just wondering what milk would be best to give it? Its late at night so i can’t buy any special milk. I’ve only got semi skimmed milk and evaporated milk will any of them do? Also can i feed it water? Please reply..

if it is only three days old then you can’t remove it, mother hamsters help them in almost every possible, even help them digest food, it will die if you remove it put it back with its mother, and if the mother eats it then thats too bad, but you can try bredding again, but next time try reading all about breeding before doing so
