Fat Kids: Truth and Consequences - Essential Reading about Childhood Obesity

PORTLAND, Maine - Nov. 2, 2014 - PRLog -- FAT KIDS: TRUTH AND CONSEQUENCES

“Fat Kids is a wealth of information in a compelling and moving read.”
~ Mark Ebner, New York Times bestselling author of Hollywood, Interrupted, and Six Degrees of Paris Hilton

Fat Kids: Truth and Consequences (Beaufort Books, October 16, 2014) by Rebecca Jane Weinstein is an informational vault of deeply personal tales and essential information, focusing on the lives, questions, and concerns of parents and children living in a childhood obesity crisis. Fat Kids is not a dieting or weight loss how-to; it instead explores the true human experiences and often untold science outside the current political positioning on children and weight.

Fat Kids powerfully combines interviews, relevant research, social anecdotes, personal author accounts, and the reality of children struggling with weight, to create a narrative that is profoundly poignant, accessible, and essential for understanding our current war on fat. Fat Kids is a truly unique work; all other books focusing on children and weight are solely focused on diet and weight loss. This book, with its empathetic point of view, raw emotion, and solid information, is a necessary voice in the literary scene. “See Inside (http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Kids-Truth-Consequences-Books/d...).”
