| Thanks! I wrote this in the day. After her basketball game (wow i think she lost a bigillon callories!) lol anyway when we got home, it was time for a shower and we had already ate. Every night she has desert, like ice cream,brownies,cookies, or w/e. She usally has this sfter her vball/or bball game because she so hungry. After her shower she came down stairs and said "mom i NEED fruit. Something juicy and healthy." I was shocked i was like"ok..umm we have a can of pinapple in the frige." She went grabed the can dumped it in a bowl and asked,"Does this have vitamens in it?" I laughed and said of course. When it was time for bed i went upstairs and told her to go to bed, and she's like "Wait i need to go rinse out the bowl and put it in the washing machence." She ate the whole thing! i was shocked. The next night it was a whole container of straw berries! It seems she matured over night! This year she grew 6 inches and went from 95 pounds to 115 (she 5"8) anyway...she still has junk food in the day but she seems a lot happier! Hope you stay stong wiht your anorexia :) I'm here for you! ↑ |

| Turnip and Its Hybrid Offspring Much confusion surrounded the origins, even the identity, of turnips and rutabagas, or "Swedes," for a long time. They are distinctly different species. Most varieties of turnip are white-fleshed and most varieties of rutabaga are yellow-fleshed, but there are also white-fleshed rutabagas and yellow-fleshed turnips. Rutabaga leaves are smooth like cabbage leaves, while those of the turnip are somewhat rough, with sparse, stiff "hairs" over them. The most significant difference between them, however, is in the make-up of their mechanisms of heredity, the structures of their individual cells. The turnip has 20 chromosomes, while the rutabaga has 38. And thereby hangs a tale-the tale of the origin of the rutabaga. Study Indicates a Turnip-Cabbage Cross Recent botanical detective work indicates that a rather rare kind of hybridization between some form of cabbage (18 chromosomes) and turnip (20 chromosomes) resulted in the new species, rutabaga (20 + 18 = 38 chromosomes). No one knows when or where this occurred, but the new species was probably first found in Europe some time in the late Middle Ages. There was no record of it until 1620 when the Swiss botanist Caspar Bauhin described it. Turnip (Brassica rapa) is of ancient culture, many distinct kinds having been known to the Romans at the beginning of the Christian Era. Some of those varieties bore Greek place names, indicating earlier culture and development by the ancient Greeks. In the first century Pliny described long turnips, flat turnips, round turnips. He wrote of turnips under the names rapa and napus. In Middle English this latter term became nepe, naep in Anglo-Saxon. One of these words, together with turn ("made round"), became our common word "turnip." Man appreciated the usefulness of the turnip during the prehistoric development of agriculture, and the plant was so easy to grow in so many places that it became widely distributed all the way from the Mediterranean across Asia to the Pacific. The European types of turnip, our commonest kinds, developed in the Mediterranean area. The basic center of the Asiatic kinds is in middle Asia, west of the Himalayas. There are also two secondary centers-eastern Asia and Asia Minor. The European type of turnip was grown in France for both food and stock feed at least as early as the first century after Christ. In the England of Henry VIII, turnip roots were boiled or baked, the tops were cooked as "greens," and the young shoots were used as a salad. (In parts of our South today turnip leaves for greens are called "turnip salad.") The turnip was brought to America by Jacques Cartier, who planted it in Canada in 1541. It was also planted in Virginia by the colonists in 1609 and in Massachusetts in the 1620's. The Indians adopted its culture from the colonists and soon grew it generally. Since colonial times the turnip has been one of the commonest garden vegetables in America. It is primarily a cool-weather crop, suitable for summer culture only in the northernmost States or at high altitudes. European varieties of turnips are biennial. One Oriental variety commonly grown here, however, called Shogoin, will go to seed in its first season if planted in the spring. A few varieties of leaf turnips (no enlarged root) such as Seven Top are grown only for greens. The leaves of the turnip are usually rich in the minerals and vitamins that are essential to health, but the roots have a relatively low food value. In this country the roots are usually eaten boiled, either fresh or from pit or cellar storage. In Europe kraut is commonly made from the sliced roots. Rutabaga Also Called "Swede" Rutabaga (Brassica napobrassica) gets its name from Swedish rotabagge. In England and Canada it is commonly called "Swede," or "Swede turnip." The French called it navet de Suede (Swede turnip), chou de Suede (Swede cabbage), and chou navet jaune (yellow cabbage turnip). It was known in the United States about 1800 as "turnip-rooted cabbage." Although common names suggest a Scandinavian origin, this is not certain. Rutabaga was apparently known on the Continent many years before it was grown in England. It was little known in England in 1664 when it was grown in the royal gardens. It was used for food in France and southern Europe in the 17th century. Both white and yellow-fleshed varieties have been known in Europe for more than 300 years. The rutabaga requires a longer growing season than our turnips, but, like the turnip, it is sensitive to hot weather. Its culture is therefore confined largely to the northernmost States and Canada and to northern Europe and Asia. It is a staple crop in northern Europe, but a minor crop in America and in the Orient. It is more nutritious than the turnip, chiefly because it contains more solid matter ↑ |

| anyway...i forgot to add some stuff on here. I think the friut was a phasa, and phases end :( she's gone back to her horrible habbits, even if she knows that it's bad for her. She loves little kids...like 2's 3's and 4's. She's working at a church camp for 4 year olds from 9-1pm and then at another church from 6-9. Ya..she's busy! Anyway, so for breakfast this morning she had a limeade (drink) then she had chocolate for lunch, and 3mini tacos. My point is she doesnt eat barley anything for breakfast or lunch but then eats a lot for dinner no matter what it is. She doesnt snack that much, and i dont know what to do! should i make her eat? ↑ |

| Please be aware that you shouldn't drill her about this issue too much, especially at a young age. If you start making her watch what she eats, reward her for doing well with food, or commenting on how she needs to eat, she may actually develop an eating disorder. Just be careful what you say. As she gets older, body image will become more and more important, so make sure you let her know how beautiful she is as much as possible. ↑ |

| wait! i just relized something. She doesnt eat A LOT. She eats scarely anyhting for breakfast or lunch, but then eats a regular dinner and dessert. So she isnt really eating a lot at all. I mean she's eating enough to not be starving herself, and when shes hungry she eats. So basically she's fine. Well not FINE she still has bad habbits but her body doesnt need a lot of food to keep going. Also, i kinda have to force her to eat at breakfast because if she doesnt eat she will probably faint. Like a diabetic she has low blood sugar in themornings only. The treatment? Give your body carbs. If she doesnt she will probably faint or throw up- yes this has been diagonoised by a doctor. In fact her first "episode" was in the doctors office! lol anyway.......so i dont have a chioce about lunch i dont know what to do ↑ |
