"Obesity used to be looked at as only an adult issue, but given the rising statistics of overweight kids, this is a far greater problem than imagined," said Teen Talk executive producer Steve Ruprecht. "By discussing this topic through Teen Talk, we are hoping to reach the masses and all parties responsible. The fact that more kids today are having radical gastric bypass surgery only reinforces the necessity to explore the issue."

Teen Talk, which caters to technology savvy teenagers, is meant to be highly interactive. Dolandis, who has hosted youth programming for media outlets like Nickelodeon shares personal stories and solicits feedback from tweenagers. Viewers are encouraged to send Dolandis e-mail and blog her with their questions and feedback.
