    What a great article!!! My grandparents are getting fairly old, and both of them are overweight. I've always felt like once you get to acertain age, like, perhaps past 65, dieting becomes a little dangerous. So it's good to see that there actually ARE healthy ways of doing so once ou've become elderly.
