It is a really good book.
I think that there are some lifestyle choices that might be hard to break, even despite the glow of Demon TV. I know that my sister and I (who grew up in the 70s and 80s) played outside a lot more and went to better schools with larger budgets that were able to maintain their PE departments. Neither of us had obesity problems as a child. My niece and nephew--same schools, same general lifestyle of not being allowed to zone out in front of the TV, they eat really good food--don't look like bleeping Sta-Puft...even though they do eat fast food more than we did growing up.
