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.

Later, Pastor Steven Perry of Detroit's Bethel Baptist Church joins, spotlighting 1,500+ community gardens transforming vacant lots since 2003.
