This doesn’t make any sense. How are we supposed to fight obesity not only in children but with adults as well when the food sold to us is garbage? How about we properly raise our animals before we slaughter them? Naturally, not shot up with growth hormone. At the bottom of this excerpt, there is a link to a review of a documentary called, “Food Inc.” Take the the time to watch it. You might think twice about buying meat at your local supermarket. When I have the money, I’m going to raise my own chickens and grow my own gardens.

The goal, as set out in a report from the White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity, is to reduce childhood obesity from 20% to 5% by 2030.
To accomplish this, the plan makes 70 recommendations for early childhood, for parents and caregivers, for school meals and nutrition education, for access to healthy food, and for increasing physical activity.
“For the first time, the nation will have goals, benchmarks, and measurable outcomes that will help us tackle the childhood obesity epidemic one child, one family, and one community at a time,” Obama says in a news release.
U.S. kids haven’t always been obese. Only one in 20 children ages 2 to 19 was obese in the 1970s. But around 1980 child obesity began to rocket to today’s stratospheric level: Nearly one in three kids is overweight or obese, and nearly one in five is frankly obese. *webmd*
