What if I told you the tiny human who roams your home, coloring your white walls with every shade of the rainbow, and
repeatedly filling the toilet with every one of his action figures is possibly the most renowned dietitian in your circle?

Katie Seaver skillfully lays out the details of this amazing experiment and under score the undeniable facts, that your tiny
