Childhood Obesity

In the past month, I've done my webpage and a newsletter on childhood obesity. Obesity in children is now epidemic in the United States. In the last two or three decades, the number of children who are overweight has doubled. Currently, one child in five is overweight. This increase is not only seen in children, but also in adolesccents. A news report has stated that children's lives will be shorter than their parents if this trend continues. With this stated, it is quite apparent that childhood obesity is a serious problem, and something needs to be done about it. Children these days need to eat healthier and be more physically active if we want to turn this trend around.
