There are more programs, even government funded ones, than there ever have been before to educate parents and others about healthy eating and the health risks of being overweight, particularly as children. Obesity has been named an epidemic in our country and much is already being done in an effort to help this. Not only is this epidemic killing people, but it is costing atrocious amounts of money and time within our health care systems and effecting numerous other people in ripple effects. In the meantime, many Americans and numerous children are currently facing extreme health issues due to their present state of obesity and it is imperative that they get immediate medical attention if they wish to retain their lives. It is an important topic to bring up though as it continues to educate parents to take the responsibility in their own lives and their children's lives to learn about and provide a healthy diet and regular exercise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613113213749639426.post-4590434805216741422008-07-16T03:19:00.000-04:002008-07-16T03:19:00.000-04:00I totally agree with you!

I can't avoid the kid friendly food since they refuse to eat much of anythign else - but luckily they like cheese and milk best. So that can't be too bad right?
