Sunday Snippets

Tidbits of information I picked up this week:

• Once you file something, there is a 98% chance you will never look at it again (I think I have proven this). (Parents Canada, March/April 2011)
• 26% of Canadian children between the ages of 2 and 17 are obese. 1 in 3 overweight 20-yr-olds become obese within 8 yrs. If these trends continue, 70% of Canadians will be overweight or obese, compared to 57% now. Staggering either way you look at it! (Parents Canada, March/April 2011)
• If you suffer from Celiac Disease, the incremental cost of your gluten-free groceries can potentially be used to reduce income tax. For guidelines, visit cra-arc.gc.ca (Canadian Living, May 2011)
• If the kids track mud through the house and over your rugs and carpets, resist the urge to wipe it up right away. Instead, let it dry, then place packing tape over the dried mud to lift it away (Woman's World, 4/25/11)
