Does a new book target obese kids?

Posted: 08.28.2011 at 11:25 PM

Have you ever heard of a book named "Maggie goes on a diet"?

It's about a 14 year old girl who is overweight and becomes a football star after losing weight.

Critics think the book, which is targeted at kids as young as four, promotes eating disorders.
