Strong message to parents 
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.

A Wonderful Resource!
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!

Great Insight
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.

Required reading in the fight against obesity
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.

The best $20 you'll ever invest in your children's lives
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!
