I had my two autistic sons in my early 20′s and my healthy son in my 30′s. No offense to their study, but they need to keep on looking for the cause.

And the Nanny State is ever-expanding. I’m fine with schools offering healthy alternatives, but it should ultimately be a choice of the individual in the end.

First they came for the cigarettes, and I didn’t speak up because I’m not a smoker. Then they came for the trans fats and I didn’t speak up because I’m a healthy eater. Then they came for the foie gras and I didn’t speak up because it’s French. Then they came for the ice cream and I didn’t speak up because I’m lactose intolerant. And then they came for the rib eye. And by that time there was no one left to speak up because all of the restruants were already out of business.
