MOM, I’M TOO FAT TO PLAY! And with that my four year old burst into tears. His school friends had told him that because he was fat he couldn’t play with the group and had to sit on his own during lunchtime.

After I reassured him he was fine and I had calmed down a bit (ever want to kill your kid’s friends?), I let my mothering guilt take over! Was he overeating? Was he heading for obesity? Sure, he was a little bit chubby, but wasn’t that just normal? By the time my husband came home I had myself convinced that my son would be obese by the time he was five and have health issues for the rest of his life.

While the above incident was relatively mild, it was the catalyst for this book. Can you imagine the torture that some overweight kids go through every day at school, and the bullying or name calling doesn’t end when they leave school!
The sad fact is that childhood obesity is a huge problem (pardon the pun!) and one that is increasing. More kids are overweight than ever before and the problems start almost as soon as a child is born. How many babies have you seen eating their dinner in fast food chains? Or eating a bag of chips (crisps for the UK reader) in their stroller? One bag of chips can contain over 100% of the recommended salt allowance for an adult. God only knows how the child’s liver and kidneys are going to deal with that excess salt.

Poor diets also lead to problems at school. Apart from the bullying my middle son experienced, there is also the issue of behavior. If your child is misbehaving at school or getting poor grades, the answer could lie in his diet and general lifestyle.
