Childhood Obesity – A National Health Epidemic
Childhood obesity is one of our nation’s leading health threats. Today
about 25 million kids (ages 2-19) in the United States are overweight or
at risk of becoming overweight. That’s nearly one of every three kids.
The obesity epidemic is taking its toll as more and more kids are
developing health conditions and diseases typically seen in adults. It
is estimated that 1 in 3 children born after the year 2000 may develop
Type II diabetes.
