Fat, Fat, What's Wrong with That?: the Importance of Diet and Exercise

You tell your child that you are on a diet. Does your child understand that statement? This book is written to explain what a diet is and the motivation parents have for dieting as well as the end result they hope to achieve. This will allow parents to work with their children and even empower them, if they choose, to police the diet which will bring good results for all. There seems to be a viscious cycle in America today. If we do not have the energy to play with our children, we tend to find alternative means of play - often sedentary video games. This lack of activity on the part of the adult and child creates a society that does not have healthy physical exercise as part of their daily/weekly routine and that leads to weight gain for both parents and children.
