Most of us find it far too easy to gain weight. Son#2 has the opposite problem; he struggles to gain or maintain weight, because he has Crohn’s Disease. This form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects the digestive system and causes the intestinal tissue to become inflamed, form sores and bleed easily. The nutrients from food aren’t easily absorbed, leading to weight loss and other issues. There’s no known cause, and there’s no cure. I am compelled to add “yet.”
So I’m all for supporting research into this disease, and M&M Meat Shops is making it easy. Besides a yearly barbecue in May with proceeds going to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of Canada, M&M holds a Family Dinner Night in September. This year, it’s September 20. For every person who registers participation in the night (which just means entering your name and province), M&M will donate $1 to CCFC. Then all you do is sit down and enjoy dinner with your family. Of course, if you need dinner ideas, M&M has plenty of those.
