    Most people who struggle with their weight during childhood and during the shidduchim years are very bright. They know all the above and more.
    I hope you never have children or grandchildren who have a problem beimg overweight. If you do, they probably resent your opinions.

    You receive personal benefit by writing this message because you convince yourself that you’re absolved from helping those who are overweight find their bashert.

    Most parents try their best even if the child doesn’t realize it.
    Blaming and having taanis to parents doesn’t help the situation, but recognizing and healing trauma with a therapist can help.

    Many seats are unsold because many Yidden are last minute people.

    Make sure to rule out PANDAS. My son was misdiagnosed by with Tourettes by several pediatricians and neurologists and it was really PANDAS. B”H years of motor and vocal tics cleared up with a PANDAS medical protocol within a few years.

    I believe there would be lower tuition if schools were forced to to review their books with an oversight committee. We need transparency in their bookkeeping, including all staff salaries.

    CVS in Flatbush (Nostrand and Kings Hwy) has gallon sized, full fat (red) Cholov Yisroel milk in closed refrigerators.

    I think the price of gallon size milk is regulated so the companies sell half-gallon milk instead so that they have control over pricing.

    Popa_bar_abba, maybe you can get a research student to do some analysis for free. Call around to some colleges and find out if they can have some statistics students volunteer for this kind of non-profit work.

    In think the question is – why haven’t the yeshivos switched over to an Israeli/European yeshiva model where the boys start shidduchim earlier since this will solve the problem.
