This book by Sarah Curran is exceptional in a number of ways. It is a detailed, easily read book that confronts the problem of childhood obesity in a no nonsense, conversational manner. Full of fascinating facts about our eating habits, and those of our kids, it gives reasons to eat healthy (as if we needed them), hints on what to eat and how much (Supersize it, ma'am? No. Thank you.),what amounts of what foods should be eaten and why and some very interesting tidbits that I didn't know - and I know lots of things. :-)Do you know which VIP organ of your body is composed of 60% fat? Hint: It is not your bottom!Do you know of the different kinds of fats? Which are good for you and which are not?Do you know which food contains MASSIVE amounts of antioxidants and also tastes so yummy it is a delight to eat? I had vaguely heard of them but this book filled in the gaps and made me go and purchase some today! LOL! This one hint alone is worth the price of the book.Did you know that there are varying degrees of "organic"? Sarah Curran does and she explains just what you are getting with each degree.Do you know what the food labels mean? Believe me, the fine print revealed in this book will shock you. Sometimes the word "healthy" when used in relation to certain foods should have the disclaimer "Only if you are an Olympic athlete."!Supersized to Superhealthy is a fantastic book full of fascinating, useful and important information that every parent should have. Sarah Curran has really done her homework here and the book is inspiring and informative.Seriously, the best I have read on this subject. If you have a child, buy it now!
