Killing the Kids...
The Learning Channel has a new show titled 'Honey, We're Killing the Kids'. Very fitting today with the way families think about food.
The show will cover the lives of 13 families, and their nutritional habits, or lack thereof. Eating habits completely out of control, the children of these families are on their way to an unhealthy, disease filled life of obesity and sickliness.
Dr. Hark, calls child obesity and epidemic, and is correct in doing so. The long term impact of childhood obesity is still not fully recognised by society today. Each family on the show is given new guidelines to eat by, and three weeks to make drastic changes. Dr. Hark will check back on the families after the three week period.
Bad health habits in the families include poor nutrition from snack foods, overeating, smoking, high sugar, high calorie, high fat diets, and every other nutrition nightmare you can think of.
Dr. Lisa Hark is a medical nutritionist with over 20 years of experience in nutrition counseling and promoting the benefits of healthy eating. Hopefully this show will help some people see the importance of healthy eating.
