Berg examines four major problems: eating disorders, dysfunctional eating, size prejudice, and being overweight. She discusses the forces that have contributed to these problems, and provides workable approaches to helping children learn to eat normally and attain the Canadian "Vitality" model of wellness: eating well, living actively, and reducing stress.
Someone has to do it, I kept thinking uneasily. Someone needs to tell parents and teachers what's happening, and why we can't do this to our kids. But no one did. And when I'd tell other writers in the field of my concerns, they'd say: it's you. But I didn't want to take a year out of my already busy life.
There were personal reasons, too. I'd experienced acute pain in the seasonal dieting of our two wrestling sons. And yes, I can understand the desperation to lose weight, because I recall only too well how, as an overweight teenager, I lived through the miseries of gazing into the mirror wishing I could pull off a hunk here, and here, of watching my best resolutions dissolve into uncontrolled eating binges.
Then by a lucky accident I lost my excess weight. And I realized that the answer is not dieting or struggling with weight loss, but moving ahead to eating well, living actively and feeling good about yourself and others. It's Health at Any Size, the theme of both this book on children and the companion book, "Women Afraid to Eat."
