Publisher's Synopsis
From Dr. Michael F. Jacobson, author of The Fast-Food Guide, and Bruce Maxwell, here is a necessary guide for every parent. Part expos, and part handbook, it's an impeccably researched look at kids, diet, government, and the food industry. It explains why the same dietary villains afflicting adults-too much fat, cholesterol, sugar, salt-are equally bad for kids. How big food business develops brand loyalty. How the FCC allows junk food advertisers almost unlimited access to children's programming. But it also explains what you can do about it-and how to get your kids on a healthier track.
