No one disputes that childhood obesity is a serious matter. And no one can argue that its effects are long lasting, life altering and costly to society. But how many of your listeners will agree with physician, lawyer, children’s advocate and fitness authority Michael Applebaum, M.D., J.D., when he declares on your program that parents of obese
children are child abusers?

Your phone lines will smoke as Applebaum lays out his case asserting that nutritional child abuse is the most common form of child abuse afflicting kids today. He’ll explain why:

• Fat kids should be encouraged to report their parents to child and family services.

• Fat kids should be able to sue the adults responsible for their wrongful lifestyles.

• Schools should provide children with the tools necessary to protect themselves, i.e., teach them how to report nutritional child abuse.
