Fighting childhood obesity: Debunking myths on Studio A



MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Fighting childhood obesity. On Studio A on Wednesday, July 9th, Dr. Joseph Skelton with the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, and members of TOPS discuss some childhood obesity myths.

Skelton is the author of Chapter 9: Childhood Obesity in Real Life -- and is an expert on childhood obesity. He is the founder and director of Brenner FIT (Families in Training) at Brenner Children's Hospital in North Carolina. TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly) started in Milwaukee more than six decades ago.
