Can my baby eat Quaker Instant Oatmeal?

Our eight month old has tried the infant variety of oats and has had no reaction at all. He’s on a variety of solids now and regularly eats mashed up ‘whole’ foods from the table that are considered baby safe.

Is it okay to share our oatmeal with him as well? He gets very jealous when mommy and daddy eat in front of him :-)

Do you think that colleges need to have better food options available for the students they serve?

I think that colleges need to have better food options available for their students in three ways. One was is to have a variety of options and using the food pyramid as a guide. By having variety, you have more grains available along with a good selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh dairy and poultry options and limit the use of fats, oils, and sweets. Another way is not having the food be a buffet style (like the Golden Corral for example) and instead a student can only has to go in line only once and tell a cafeteria worker what they would like to eat because if a student eats way too many calories in a day and they are unable to burn off the calories, they will gain weight. Finally, universities need to ask students what kind of options they would like to see available at the school so that the college cooks for what is in the students interest.

Does anyone KNOW if mushrooms are good or bad for dogs?

I have been making my own dog food for about 6 months and I am trying to get them more variety. I need to get one of those good cook books but I haven’t yet. I have learned a lot about cooking for dogs but I haven’t read anything about mushrooms. When I searched online I got a 50 / 50 answer. I do not want opinions or half answers. Obviously wild mushrooms are bad for dogs. I would really appreciate an educated opinion because there are so many people that think any human food is bad for dogs. This makes me laugh because that is what they use in good dog foods. I researched for about 6 months before I started making food and I started slowly. None of my 3 dogs have ever got runny poop and I know I am doing well with the ,mixture because the texture and color of poop is perfect. Anyway I need a real answer and I don’t know where else to look. I do feed my dogs Canidae once a day as well. I do not see mushrooms in any food ingredient lists for dog food but that does not always mean it is not good for them. Sometimes it is the cost or the way it preserves.
