Increase in childhood obesity
Found this article "Child obesity rates going up" this morning. This will come as no surprise to us. I take it as a mandate for us to stay the course on nutrition issues to be sure. One interesting fact the research discovered:Overall, kids consumed 168 more calories from snack foods in 2003-2006 compared to 1977-1978, and the increase was greatest among the very young -- those aged 2 to 6.
Does this suggest that our greatest positive impact might be made with Pre-K and Kindergarten kids and their parents?
