abcn.ws Author Paul Kramer defended his controversial children's book “Maggie Goes on a Diet” by saying a book about a dieting teenage girl helps kids make healthy choices. “My intentions were just to write a story to entice and to have children feel better about themselves, discover a new way of eating, learn to do exercise, try to emulate Maggie and learn from Maggie's experience,” Kramer told “Good Morning America” today. “Children are pretty smart … and they will make a good choice if you give them that opportunity.” Kramer's book won't be released until October, but it's already generated controversy. Negative comments from worried parents and weight-loss experts about the book's weight-loss message have flooded the Internet.
