but so are smartphones, laptops and
tablets, which can keep our kids and
grandkids occupied and virtually
motionless for hours on end.

Even though the problem is well-
defined, there are no easy answers.
In 2010, first lady Michelle Obama
launched Let’s Move, an initiative
dedicated to solving the challenge of
childhood obesity within a genera-
tion by giving parents useful infor-
mation, fostering environments that
support healthy choices, providing
healthier foods in our schools and
helping kids become more physically
active.

No one disagrees with the prem-
ise of Let’s Move, but its impact, at
least so far, seems to be minimal, as
the overall childhood obesity rate
has not declined in the 5+ years of
the initiative’s existence. Regarding
school lunches, Dr. Haake said there
have been improvements in portion
control, and that the substitution of
skim or nonfat milk for whole milk is
good, but there is still a lot of room
for improvement. She said, “It’s a
huge challenge. In an ideal world,
parents would make a healthy lunch
for their child to take to school, or the
child would willingly and happily eat
the healthy choices offered at school.
That’s not what always happens in
the real world.”

Dr. Haake is the mother of two
slim and healthy children, Daylan,
9, and Matthew, 7. She shared some
of the behaviors that have become
habit in her household:

• There is close parental monitor-
ing of meals and snacks. “Sure, the
kids have a cookie now and then,
but if they want a snack later, it will
be something healthy, like a cheese
stick or an orange,” Dr. Haake said.
“And they very rarely eat fast food.”

• Water is the only beverage her
kids drink. “Soda and juices have too
much sugar, and there’s even a lot of
sugar in milk,” she said. “There are
plenty of other ways for them to get
calcium.” Drinks with non-nutritive
sweeteners (e.g. aspartame, saccha-
rin, sucralose, stevia) are strictly off-
limits.

The enduring style lessons to learn from Audrey Hepburn

BY ALICE NEWBOLD
The Telegraph

Audrey Hepburn would have been
87 years old last week. The actress
was only 63 when she died of cancer,
but her classic sense of style is still as
relevant now as it was in her Holly-
wood heyday. Among her most mem-

some killer costumes, or rather sar-
torial gems, to replicate in real-life.

that masked her collarbone, but often

Princess Ann on the back of Joe Brad-

mance earned her the 1954 Best Ac-
tress Oscar and ingrained that iconic
’50s silhouette into mindsets world-
wide. For the spree around Rome,
Hepburn reportedly sent back cos-
tume designer Edith Head’s sketches
and recommended a simpler neck-
line, wider belt and flatter shoe.

Her lace-up ballet flats chime with
Aquazzura’s current Christy pumps,
which make the perfect accompani-

with a bottle of chardonnay, and the
bartender proposed a new addition
to their wine list he thought we might

choice.

For starters, I went with the beet

opted for the evening’s special soup
($8) and our companion settled on the
black bean soup ($8), a Vinz standby.

The salad, a mix of organic greens
and arugula with slices of beets,
chevre goat cheese and crunchy can-

fig balsamic vinaigrette. The black
bean soup also got high marks. But
the special soup, a creamy cauliflower
