"I had no idea the world of food was so big. There are so many simple, tasty foods from all these cultures that are so easy to make. You don't have to eat them in a restaurant or be a trained chef to prepare them." This is what Lynn Fredericks, the creator of FamilyCook Productions, discovered when, divorced with two young sons, she sought to reduce tension in her household by enlisting the boys' help in the kitchen and introducing them — and herself — to cooking healthful, easy-to-prepare and delicious foods, and eating them together in a civilized fashion.

The men called themselves Overweight Haters Ltd, and the cards said things like, "It's really not glandular, it’s your gluttony."
