<DIV>Thanks Herb,</DIV> <DIV>I thought that with technology so advanced that there may have been a</DIV> <DIV>program I haven't heard of yet that is simple and easy to use (My mother</DIV> <DIV>is quite old and I can't see her googling anything:). Something like a </DIV> <DIV>journal but that gives solid results at the end of the day. Such as</DIV> <DIV>how much cholesterol, proteins, carbohydrates and vitamins you absorb</DIV> <DIV>in one day. You punch in what you eat and you get actual results, </DIV> <DIV>I think it would be a great idea to promote proper health. </DIV> <DIV>People today really don't know what they are putting in there bodies. </DIV> <DIV>Anyhow thanks again,</DIV> <DIV>Anna</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><B><I></I></B> </DIV> <DIV><B><I>Herb Martin <HerbM@learnquick.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META
