Yolanda Levy shudders every time she sees another obese child on  Maury Povich. She’s disgusted by the marketing of unhealthy foods to children. But she says the ultimate responsibility for the obesity surge in America lies squarely on the shoulders of today’s parents.

Yolanda says kids can’t solve this problem alone. It has to be a concerted family effort. Don’t let your kids vegetate behind the computer or sit around playing video games. Get out as a family and exercise and learn how to eat right. Make healthy decisions together, give children the opportunity for input, and slap the handcuffs on obesity!

Yolanda can discuss:

• The two major causes of obesity in children and adults.

• How to get your family moving and exercising together in a fun-filled way.

• Why the low-carb, high-protein diet model fails.

• Why European citizens look at Americans and laugh.

• Steps parents can take to help not just their children, but the whole family.

• The dangerous challenges teens face because of obesity.
