Publisher's Synopsis
"The number of children who are overweight and obese has reached epidemic levels. Statistics show that in the past two decades, obesity has more than tripled in the child and adolescent population. If serious and immediate steps are not taken, the current generation of children will be the first to precede their parents in death. Being a pediatrician, as well as the mother of eight year old twins has heightened my sense of obligation to help to end this trend through education and awareness. l sincerely hope that by reading this book, that you and your family are able to make changes that will result in a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life." Dr. Pat Brown
