What Are We Feeding Our Kids?
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.

Definitely food for thought
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The author feels he has a social responsibility to promote the health of the nation. While he appears a bit heavy-handed at times, he does hit home with his indictments. He includes some startling information about the sorry state of school lunch programs and advertiser's attempts to woo susceptible young children into unhealthy eating habits. Concerned with the childhood epidemics of obesity and eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, he states that today's children are betrayed by their diet. Definitely food for thought.
