The childhood obesity epidemic is as scary as it is heartbreaking. According to the CDC, the percentage of children with obesity in the US has more than tripled since the 1970s, and now about 1 in 5 school-aged children (ages 6–19) is obese. Writer, documentation, and funny man Tom Naughton was such a kid, having been an obese boy with "man boobs" and low self-esteem. Later in life, Tom began doing the opposite of what "they" tell us to do, and got his life and health back. We discuss his brilliant new book Fat Head Kids, which breaks down the science of why we get fat into digestible terms and stories for all ages. I highly suggest the read for anyone who wants to understand, or be able to explain, why we get fat--and how to fix it.
