Children need to develop a sense for when they are full

Bonn - "Clean your plate" might be a well-intentioned command, but it is harmful to many children.

It's much more important that children learn flexible control of their eating habits and maintain a healthy sense of when they are hungry and when they are full, according to Germany's consumer information service in Bonn.

For these reasons parents should tell their children, "Take only as much as you would like to eat." This rule is especially important when food is plentiful and the prevailing lifestyle is short on activity.

"Courier service" e-mail scams on the rise

Bonn - "Courier service" e-mail scams on the rise Internet users are currently being warned too look out for e-mail messages claiming to be from package courier UPS. The messages, delivered in English and in German, actually originate from hackers, the German Federal Agency for Security in Information Technology (BSI) reported recently.

The messages tell the recipient that a package could not be delivered due to a non-existent address. The message then encourages the user to click on an e-mail attachment to check the delivery slip data; anyone who does so allows a Trojan virus to sneak onto their computer.
