But while debates continue over the content of school lunches and the dangers of fast food, we are just beginning to recognize the full extent of the long-term physical, psychological, and social problems that overweight children will endure throughout their lives. Most dramatically, children today have a shorter life expectancy than their parents, something never before seen in the course of human history. They will face more chronic illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes that will further burden our healthcare system. Here, authors Jacob Warren and K. Bryant Smalley examine the full effects of childhood obesity and offer the provocative message that being overweight in youth is not a disease but the result of poor lifestyle choices. Theirs is a clarion call for parents to have \"the talk\" with their kids, which medical professionals say is a harder topic to address than sex or drugs. Urgent, timely, and authoritative, \u003ci\u003eAlways the Fat Kid\u003c\/i\u003e delivers a message our society can no longer ignore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacob Warren\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0230341772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780230341777\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2013","brand":"Jacob Warren","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448783253759,"sku":"9780230341777","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19c96847-3548-4b6f-bb75-160b2aafc6d9.jpg?v=1777260524","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/always-the-fat-kid-jacob-warren-9780230341777","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
