I have two kids, one who is definitely a fast eater, and the other who eats at a glacial pace. It's not hard to figure out who has the potential for weight problems. At least he's into outdoor activities ... and I've limited TV, and put off getting a Wii.

But I have to say, for Ms. Glacial, I do have to push her sometimes to eat faster, especially in the morning. I feel terrible about it, but the bus and school can't wait for her 45-minute breakfasts ... unless I start making everyone get up 30 minutes earlier.
