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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If we don't somehow stem the tide of childhood obesity, we're going to have a huge problem.
Tackling childhood obesity is key.
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.
Obesity is a problem that nearly every nation in the world is facing, but there is much that we can do to fix it.
Obesity is a societal issue. We have to come together with government, business, civil society, and NGOs to create solutions for this.
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.
The lack of access to proper nutrition is not only fueling obesity, it is leading to food insecurity and hunger among our children.
This country must break the cycle of childhood obesity. Unless we reverse course, this epidemic will continue to put more of our children and the future of our nation at risk.
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.
It is said that the way to prevent obesity is not to allow kids to become overweight in the first place. But it takes a multi-pronged approach that has to start with parents. Kids are just too young to understand the consequences of obesity.
