Tackling childhood obesity is key.

If we don't somehow stem the tide of childhood obesity, we're going to have a huge problem.

Obesity among young Americans is a serious problem that can have serious ramifications in the long run.

The rise of childhood obesity has placed the health of an entire generation at risk.

Fixing obesity is going to require a change in our modern relationship with food. I'm hopeful that we begin to see a turnaround in this childhood obesity epidemic.

The lack of access to proper nutrition is not only fueling obesity, it is leading to food insecurity and hunger among our children.

With the chronic obesity in America, it's more important than ever to not only feed kids healthy foods but to teach them how to make healthy choices on their own.

More than ever, we as parents and a nation must do something about the growth of obesity in our children. We must do more than just talk, we must be concerned enough to act.

Our children are obese, either have or being threatened by diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and not socially adjusting properly to others because of a lack of fitness.

If the childhood obesity epidemic remains unchecked, it will condemn many of our kids to shorter lives, as well as the emotional and financial burdens of poor health.
