In LOVE with the refrigerator?

Discussion with a dietitian, author, and public speaker

BY Kim Shippey Sentinel staff

There Are People Out There who love their refrigerator more than they love God," says Gwen Shamblin. "I don't use the word balance a lot, although it's a term I understand. What I say is, 'Put God first.'

"I believe the reason why Americans are 61 percent overweight and children's obesity has doubled in the last seven years is a basic problem called greed. Americans want more, and there's a new-found alarm and a fear that this is an epidemic that's unstoppable."

Gwen, who lives with her husband and two children in Nashville, Tennessee, is a registered dietitian, who has focused on weight control for more than 20 years.
