genuine concern' ?
"“Over the past 20 years, obesity among children and adolescents has skyrocketed from 6% to over 15%, making it the most serious health issue facing our children” said Ryan Craig, a former member of the Aspen Board of Directors and newly appointed president of Healthy Living Academies. “By employing a multi-disciplinary clinical model in a boarding school environment, we can offer a life-changing solution to thousands of overweight and obese teenagers who are facing near- or long-term health issues that can significantly compromise quality of life.”
Have any of these crusaders put any blood, sweat or tears into meaningful dialouge with the fortune 500 companies who peddle high sugar, high fat, crack food snacks?
Do they have any interest in addressing the cause of the problem?
Do they want Phillip Morris, Nabisco et Al to flood the market with their shite products - so they can sell the $300 a day faux-psychiatry remedy?
"multi-disciplinary clinical models"? - how about some competent parents?
Kids will gorge themselves silly with junk food if their parent's don't perform their basic duties. You need an Aspen camp to tell you that?
