Press Release Body = Delray Beach, Fla., May 30, 2007- The prevalence of weight
issues among the tweenage generation has prompted debates between schools, parents,
food giants and kids. The blame game is often played while our youth continue to tip
the scales. This hot topic of Adolescent Obesity is the subject for the current
episode of Teen Talk, an online video commentary feature hosted by former
Nickelodeon hostess Chloe Dolandis. Teen Talk (www.teentalkblog.tv) is a subsidiary
of Kidfluence, an up-and-coming television show and Web site for today's youth,
tackling topics critical to the development of today's tweenagers, .

"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
Steve Ruprecht, executive producer of Teen Talk. "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."

In this episode, Dolandis presents the facts, analyzes what parents, schools and
kids should be doing and offers a few tips. It's a collaborative effort.

Teen Talk, which caters to today's technology savvy teenagers, is meant to be highly
interactive. Dolandis, who has hosted youth programming for media outlets like
Nickelodeon exudes a very direct and enthusiastic attitude, she expresses her
opinions, shares personal stories and solicits feedback from tweenagers. Viewers are
