Save Your Child from the Fat Epidemic: 7 Steps Every Parent Can Take to Ensure Healthy, Fit Children for Life Gayle Alleman has penned a potentially life-changing book that is one half commentary and one half must-have solutions for healthy eating. The first part is a call-to-arms for all parents about the growing rates of obesity and obesity-related illness among children in our country. Over 25% of American children are overweight, and the numbers are rising. American children are being raised in a "culture of obesity, " where food and food-related products take primacy in our homes, schools, and day-cares. Movie-makers, toy manufacturers and video-game producers have found ready partners with the food industry in targeting children for sugar-filled, fat-laden foods that offer little in the way of nutrition. Children are exposed to these images from the moment they wake until they go to bed. As a result, not only are obesity rates climbing, studies show that even those children who do not have a weight problem when young are slowly being sentenced to a lifetime of diet-related health concerns when they reach adulthood. The second part of the book offers parents seven easy-to-follow and doable steps to ensure healthy children for life.
