	from Fiona Haynes We eat when we're hungry; we eat when we're not hungry. We pay little attention to why we need to eat, or rather why we need to eat well. Also this week: is it OK to eat yogurt if you're eating low carb? Plus, your child subsists on peanut butter sandwiches, but your school has a no nuts policy. Why is such a policy necessary, and what can your peanut-butter monster bring for lunch or snack instead?

Why We Need to Eat
Your body and your brain tells you when you are hungry, but do you know why you need to eat? The foods you eat provide energy for daily activities, structural building blocks and the vitamins and minerals help keep all of your biochemical processes working. Here is an introduction to why your body needs good nutrition.

Yogurt on a Low Carb Diet
You may have heard that yogurt is good for your intestines, and that it may help in weight loss, as well as being nutritious. But why do the labels on yogurt vary so much in terms of sugar and carbs? It turns out that some of them may even have less carbohydrate than the labels show! Find out how to count the carbs in yogurt.

The Nut-Free Classroom
If there is public suspicion about a "food allergy epidemic," it's at least in large part because of the increase in peanut and tree nut allergies and the concomitant rise of nut-free schools, daycares, and classrooms. Why are kids without nut allergies banned from bringing nuts or food containing traces of nuts into school? Surely all an allergic child has to do is avoid ingesting the food? Unfortunately, it's not that simple.
