Learn about good fats, bad fats, good carbs, and bad carbs, to help your family 'develop a lifestyle of good nutrition and physical fitness' by avoiding bad advice and using Todd Hollander's book to develop a plan, priorities, and actions to promote a 'nutritious diet and physical fitness.'

As soon as I picked up "We're Killing Our Kids", I dove into it. Based on extensive research, it describes the basis and benefits of a healthy nutritional and physical lifestyle. The comprehensive information will benefit adults and children alike. The book provides a realistic approach and creative ideas effective in the daily battle we all face with the couch and the foods we consume. I felt encouraged that it's not too late to get started for the health and happiness of my entire family!

I will be recommending this book to all the parents of children at risk for obesity in my practice. I found the data presented compelling and accurate and the style of writing perfect for the lay reader. Hollander has done a great job tackling this modern epidemic and presents a practical stepwise approach to change.

We're Killing Our Kids is a must read for every adult who seeks a solution to the problem of overweight children. Without casting blame or causing guilt, Hollander details not only the leading causes of this epidemic, but more importantly, practical steps that adults can take at home, at school, and in the community to enable children to develop healthy habits of balanced eating and regular exercise. If you care about kids, read this book!

Mr. Hollander's book was so captivating I read it in one sitting.

He provides clear insight into the problems we face with our childrens' (and our own) eating habits. His analysis of the data is clear and concise. His easy-to-follow guidelines are well researched and make it easy to avoid the pitfalls so common in our society.

I highly recommend this book.

Todd Hollander has done the parents of American children a wonderful service by writing this book! It presents the data clearly and objectively in a very readable fashion. He explores all of the factors involved in our childhood obesity epidemic and offers interventions and lifestyle change tips to help families make progress with this problem. I am a pediatrician who sees children in a Cholesterol Clinic and am currently recommending "We're Killing Our Kids" to my patient families. I would urge you to read this book if you have an overweight or obese child or if you are concerned about the childhood obesity epidemic. There are things you can do to turn the situation around!

A very strong, accurate and timely message about parental responsiblitiy in the fight against childhood obesity. Packed with facts, figures and common sense about the slide in family health and how to motivate your family towards proper diet and exercise. This should be required reading not only for current parents but for all future parents. Young adults get very little, if any, training on parenting before and after they marry. They have no idea what to expect. This book would be an excellent training tool and an eye-opener on one of the responsibilities of parenthood for all prospective parents.

This is an excellent book for anyone who is concerned about the epidemic of overweight children. This book will inspire the reader to start changing their lifestyle. This book is an excellent addition to the suggested reading list for the parents of my patients.
