A MOM'S TAKE ON CHILDHOOD OBESITY

Daphne Logue and SarahDaphne Logue and Sarah

On Monday, Dick Gordon talked to Shaun Goode, who is 9, and his grandmother, Deborah. Shaun is obese and is now trying to become healthier.

Today, Dick talks to Daphne Logue. Daphne's child, Sarah Peters-Logue, is 6 years old. Daphne knew her daughter was becoming obese, but her family doctor said that Sarah would "grow into it." In desperation, Daphne rejected her doctor's advice, and eventually had to face the fact that the problem was not her child, but herself.
