New HBO Documentary Spotlights North Carolina TeenagerMay 9, 2013 A North Carolina teenager from Goldsboro shares her story and fight towards healthier options in her school cafeteria in a documentary seen by the entire nation. When The Weight of the Nation premiered in May 2012, HBO sounded the alarm that obesity is the single most important driver of chronic disease and disability in this country, and that it could be the reason why children born in the United States today might have shorter lives than their parents. On May 7, 2013, HBO once again called attention to the obesity crisis when it premiered the three-part series, The Weight of the Nation for Kids. Watch Kebreeya’s Salad Days to see how Kebreeya takes her fight to city hall and wins. Click here to see the video.
