Get creative with 'Tommy Tomato' and friends
Research shows that as much as 96 percent of children don't eat the recommended minimum of five fruit and vegetable servings per day. Stephanie Osborn, clinical dietitian at Children's Medical Center of Dallas, offers these tips:
- Start early. Dietary habits are hard to change after age 3.
- Give them a dip. Serve chopped veggies with low-fat dressing or fresh strawberries with yogurt.
- Make fruits and vegetables fun by giving them fun names. "Ants on a log," for instance, is a popular combo of celery, peanut butter and raisins.
- Take them to the grocery store to choose something from the produce section.

FINAL WORD
Donald Trump — Responding to "Entertainment Weekly" about public perception:
"I think 'The Apprentice' has solved the misconceptions. Everybody thinks I'm a much nicer guy than they used to — from watching me fire people! So imagine how bad my image must have been before."
