Last night, parts 3 and 4 of The Weight of the Nation were shown and I must say, I was really inspired and very disappointed at the injustices specifically targeting our children and our low-income communities. We must demand more. I’m sure you will be moved to do something after watching the entire series.

CHILDREN IN CRISIS: Documents the damage obesity is doing to our nation’s children

I have to admit that my favorite of all 4-parts was “Challenges” (below) as the neighborhoods, lack of healthy food, and struggles I deal with directly were highlighted. I urge you to take a look.

CHALLENGES: Examines the major driving forces causing the obesity epidemic, including agriculture, economics, evolutionary biology, food marketing, racial and socioeconomic disparities, physical inactivity

And don’t miss tomorrow’s special at 7:30pm EST, The Weight of the Nation for Kids: The Great Cafeteria Takeover.

Good news: It’s only 30 minutes

Bad news: You can’t view it online. BUT it is available on HBO, HBO GO,  or HBO On Demand thru 6/17/12
