Essential nutrients---of which too many are deprived

Dear Rabbi Salomon, Thank you very much for this wonderful article. Although I am not Jewish, your wisdom speaks to me. My husband and I have worked hard to build a happy family and I believe we are succeeding. Recently my son said that he knew kids who dreaded "snow days" because they would rather be at school than at home---they disliked the home environment that much. I found this terribly sad. Please continue to write such articles, as the world needs them. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. Best, a faithful reader
