On this compelling episode of CURE America, host Donald T. Eason addresses the childhood obesity crisis, with 25% of Black youth facing serious risks like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and fatty liver disease.
Dr. Michelle Perro, a 44-year pediatrician who rose from NYC’s Lower East Side, and Ruth Westreich, founder of The Westreich Foundation, expose the dangers of toxic school lunches (93% containing glyphosate) and processed foods, as outlined in their report, “The Weight of a Nation.” Perro, founder of GMO Science, urges organic whole foods and family cooking to combat addictive “bliss point” foods. Westreich, a South-Central LA native who overcame homelessness, champions affordable healthy eating for all.
