I make no claim of being a doctor but what you are describing does not sound like ADD. ADD is if he cannot sit down long enough or focus long enough to do anything.

That's what I have tried to tell them..... I am not a Dr either, but this surely doesn't sound like that to me.... and there's no way in hell they are putting him on a damn thing.
Pornweaver, when asked, my kids will take veggies and such over junk food any day of the week. They aren't huge candy and junk food freaks. They eat broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, and all that stuff you don't associate with kids... we don't eat a lot of takeout unless it is like Chinese food with tons of vegetables and so on. They just aren't into that. They eat good healthy stuff at school for breakfast and lunch and I cook a meat and at least two veggies every night for dinner. I love to cook, so they always eat good... LOL
NOW take cokes, they drink on average of one a day.... but mostly they love water, and most often, they will drink water with their meals, by choice...
I have just always been a big veggie lover and have started them all eating them from babies. Kids tend to eat what Mom eats, or most I have seen, and since I always ate them, so do they.
