Hark uses state of the art computer imaging (such as that used to depict images of how a missing child might look years after their disappearance) to predict how children will look 30 years in the future if they continue in their present unhealthy lifestyle.
The families are given 3 weeks to make changes suggested weekly by Hark, such as "less screen time," "ride bikes together every week," and "throw away the junk food." The message to parents is that everyday choices can make a positive or negative impact on our children's lives.
At the end of the 3 weeks, Hark meets with the family a final time to discuss progress made and to present a kinder computer image of the children's future - if they continue with healthy lifestyle choices.
While the families struggle with the sometimes drastic changes in diet and activity, the overall experience seems to be a positive, even life-altering one.
