Publisher's Synopsis
Lifestyle Alerts for Black Children
The Health Crisis No One Is Talking About - How Poor Nutrition, Inactivity, and Systemic Neglect Are Shortening Our Kids' Lives
Our children are in danger right now.
Black children are experiencing record-high rates of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and mental health struggles at younger ages than ever before. The toxic combination of unhealthy food, lack of physical activity, government-controlled nutrition programs, and a broken healthcare system is creating a silent epidemic that is being ignored.
Did you know:
- Black children are twice as likely to develop type 2 diabetes than White children.
- Half of all Black children are overweight or obese by the time they reach their teenage years.
- Schools, daycares, and food assistance programs push unhealthy, processed meals that fuel disease.
- The medical system often misdiagnoses, overmedicates, or ignores Black children's health issues.
If we do nothing, this crisis will spiral out of control, leading to lifelong health problems, shorter life expectancy, and more suffering for Black families.
But we can fight back.
This book is both a wake-up call and a blueprint for action.
Inside, you will discover:
- How to identify and break the cycle of poor health in Black families.
- The truth about government food policies and how to work around them.
- How to teach Black children to cook and make healthy food choices.
- Simple, affordable ways to eat well, move more, and take control of your family's health.
- How to demand better policies and healthcare for our children.
This is not just about food - it is about survival.
If you love your children, your nieces, nephews, and the next generation, you cannot afford to ignore this book. The time for change is now.
