Here’s a recap for this week:
Sora is away, but John kicked off the podcast with a discussion of a new study showing that obesity may actually damage the brain in a way that makes it much more difficult to lose weight. (Read Laura Blue’s story about the study here.)
Belinda then recapped Alice Park’s piece on why kids in day care aren’t getting enough exercise, which led to a debate about Bonnie Rochman’s article on Georgia’s controversial new anti-obesity ads. The ads feature unflattering pictures of overweight children dressed in tight clothing. You can see some of the photos here.
