Synopsis

At last! This is a book that challenges the social pressures to be thin. "Afraid to Eat" explains what this is doing to kids, how they're hurting themselves emotionally, intellectually and physically and how we as parents, teachers and friends can free our children and help them free their potential as generous, capable, unique individuals. It's a fear that consumes them, shatters lives and even kills. It's an obsession that dims their joy, their curiosity, their energy and their sense of what's normal. "Afraid to Eat" examines this youth crisis in four major areas: eating disorders, dysfunctional eating, size prejudice and being overweight, and shows the way to healthy change.
