Pediasure Disadvantages - Big No from doctors
My daughter has less weight and she is slow in her growth. People always suggest me to add pediasure to her daily diet. I get irritated when people start advising me to take pediasure / amway or any artificial supplements.
The doctors themselves don't give pediasure for their children. My friend is herself a doctor and she tells me not to give. But there are also some doctors who advise people to take pediasure.

I would relate her growth to her genes (my in-laws are below average) rather than supplementing her with artificial stuffs.
But I do give her a malt made of all the grains and nuts. It contains more than 20 items. I do give her atleast one fruit a day. I see to that she eats some eggs also. For this itself she has enough energy to play and make me tired.
A famous dialogue from Kung-Fu-Panda part 1. "No matter what, a peach will always grow to be a peach tree but not an apple or orange."
I am happy for my daughter for what and how she is.

Book - Oru porulathara adiyaalin oputhal vaakumulam
Just came across this book through Neeya Naana. Its worth a read. Thought you might be interested.
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. By John Perkins
Tamil Version : " ஒரு பொருளாதார அடியாளின் ஒப்புதல் வாக்குமூலம்‘
Book review : http://riyazahmedk.
Why I liked?
Perkins highlighting how media is owned by corporations and how common man is hidden from real truth.
The points I liked:
"The next time you are tempted to go shopping, read a book instead, exercise, or meditate. Downsize your home, wardrobe, car, office, and most everything else in your life. Protest against "free" trade agreements and against companies that exploit desperate people in sweatshops or that pillage the environment.""Imagine if the Nike swoosh, MacDonald's arches, and Coca-Cola logo became symbols of companies whose primary goals were to clothe and feed the world's poor in environ-mentally beneficial ways."
