In this very personal yet scientifically accurate book, RV Siegel shares with her readers, one child's bad experiences with food. She was herself that child. But her own experiences led her to further research and the realization that poor eating habits -- often so severe as to be life-threatening -- have become an epidemic amongst millions of our children. Citing the latest research, this gripping book paints a starkly realistic portrayal of this grave problem and what we as parents, educators and society at large can do to solve it
