Fat To Skinny

Suggestions welcome.
Yesterday I was grocery shopping and a Mexican woman saw me picking up some green beans. She asked me how to prepare them, and in the conversation, she mentioned that the doctor had given her a diet plan for her daughter. She asked me what beets were and seemed to be real old-country Mexican. She told me that her daughter is 16 and weighs 320 pounds. I wanted to tell her to go to FTS, but doubted that she has a computer - then thought about giving her a book, but there's the language barrier - after I got home, I thought about the Spanish (http://www.shop.fattoskinny.com/product.sc?productId=9&categoryId=1) version! It wouldn't do me any good now, but just in case I run into something similar (or maybe run into that woman again!), can anyone tell me if the Spanish (http://www.shop.fattoskinny.com/product.sc?productId=9&categoryId=1) version takes in the culture difference as well as having the language translation?
I have some business card blanks and I'm going to put FTS information on them - in English and Spanish (http://www.shop.fattoskinny.com/product.sc?productId=9&categoryId=1)- so I can give them out. I'm going to shop at the store where that woman was and keep an eye out for her. There are several reasons why I didn't talk to her about FTS yesterday - she had a DOCTOR's directions, was just getting started, and the culture and language thing being primary. The next time I run into a situation like that I want to be prepared!

When I had the Spanish (http://www.shop.fattoskinny.com/product.sc?productId=9&categoryId=1) version translated the translator did take into consideration culture concerns. The Spanish (http://www.shop.fattoskinny.com/product.sc?productId=9&categoryId=1) version is available as an ebook only. Thanks for your support 8)

Thanks, Doug. I looked it up and see that it's only available as an ebook. Still, you never know who can use it. I really didn't want to confuse or overwhelm the woman in the store. I'll try to see her again and give her a card with all the FTS information so she can help her daughter and herself.
