This guide for parents is an examination of children, diet, government and the food industry. It explains why the same dietary villains afflicting adults - too much fat, cholesterol, sugar, salt - are equally bad for kids; what the food industry does to develop brand loyalty among children; how the FCC allows advertisers to bombard children with tens of thousands of TV commercials every year; how schools, under fiscal pressure, are beginning to invite fast-food restaurants to take over cafeteria services. With its outline of nutritional guidelines and healthy eating pyramid, it also tells how you can change your childrens' dietary habits.
