It's Not Your Fault That You're Overweight is a fictional
children's story depicting the life of Matt, who typifies
the average overweight American kid as he encounters the
emotional and physical challenges associated with an
adolescent overweight condition. The story culminates with
Matt overcoming these challenges and improving his health
condition by better understanding the importance of good
nutrition and exercise, and through an increased awareness
of the overwhelming number of social pressures, corporate
persuasions, media-perpetuated temptations, and other
cultural influences that adversely affect his ability to
make healthy choices. The story not only portrays how America's children have been
culturally programmed into obesity, but also empowers its
young readers to recognize the constant stream of negative
influences encountered daily, to make decisive changes in
their lifestyle and, in doing so, to get on track toward a
lifetime of health and wellness.
