They keep bugging us to have more servings of fruit, I don't think
the big banana will harm him.

I don't blame him. You know, that Prevention Magazine seemed
to be about healthful eating/etc to get people off medication. That
seemed like an overriding theme, though I haven't read that magazine
in a long time. Maybe check out an issue.

Yeah, I could see it's bad enough it's scary news, he might just want
to absorb it before being bombarded about it.

Wait, I think I saw that in one of those Raider's movies ...

(smile) You really have a lot to deal with. I wish you nothing but
the best, don't go crazy trying to watch everything he eats, it's not
helping you get better. He needs to step it up, but give him some
room, I think. Just my opinion. Let him take charge of what he
eats, maybe he'll get into making his own good choices.
