I'll get off this topic after this - but for now it is still major news
We are entering a new generation of obesity and now it's not just adults who are obese - it is expected that the number of children who are obese will hit 20% by the year 2010 - that's only FOUR years from now.
I heard or read somewhere that we are reaching that stage in obesity where this or the next generation of children will NOT have a longer life span than the parents...
Not only is obesity bad in and of itself, it makes all other medical problems worse....
I've been blogging about healthier children and adults for a while now and hope the readers of this blog are among those who will read the news and act on it...It is something parents have control over during the child's early years...and good nutrition early on can never be a bad choice...and good nutrition in the younger years leads to healthier choices in the teen years....
Yes we know that teens will make bad food choices when out of our sight - but if they have a foundation of good nutrients, they will come back to eating healthy....
