11/14 - Oprah Show - Overweight Children (Harvard Connection)

[Guest guest]

On Thursday, November 14, Oprah WInfrey is doing a show on overweight children

which will include a clip from Dr. Alvin F. Poussaint on media's impact on

childhood obesity:

" One of the ways that the media is affecting the whole epidemic of obesity is a

very heavy advertising on television ... particularly on children's shows, of

fast foods -- high sugar, high caloric, high fat foods -- and bombarding them

with the message that this is the kind of food that you should be eating. "

Alvin F. Poussaint, MD Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

and Judge Baker Children's Center, Boston, MA
