The Great Brain Robbery

Former New York Times columnist and NBC Sports Olympic analyst will preview his book The Great Brain Robbery that shows that 8 published research studies have documented that school backpacks reduce lung capacity up to 40% by restricting chest expansion. Mr. Prichard has found this becomes chronic, reducing school grades, self-confidence, sports performance and later, even income. Parents are encouraged to bring their children and loaded backpacks to be weighed. Everyone will have the opportunity to have their chest expansion measured.
