Feeding children is among the most basic of human responsibilities. So why do we so often feel like we’re failing at it? Pressure Cooker examines the history--and contradictions--of America’s Advice Industrial Complex, and brings intimate, funny and emotionally resonant stories from parents locked in the daily struggle to navigate manipulative marketing messages, impossible cultural expectations, and little people with big personalities as they try to set their kids on a healthy path for life.
