The Obesity Crisis
February 21, 2013
Children are not things to be molded, but are people to be unfolded.

“One in every three children ages 2-19 is overweight or obese. The life-threatening consequences of this epidemic create a compelling and critical call for action that cannot be ignored. Obesity is estimated to cause 112,000 deaths per year in the United States, and one-third of all children born in the year 2000 are expected to develop diabetes during their lifetime. The current generation may even be on track to have a shorter lifespan than their parents.
In response to this crisis, Exchange has developed a video training series, "Preventing Obesity and Promoting Wellness in Early Childhood Programs" to help early childhood programs learn how to seek solutions. You can view one short segment, "Why Children Are Obese," on the Exchange web site.
For 48 hours only, Exchange is offering a $100 discount on the purchase of Preventing Obesity and Promoting Wellness.

Obesity is certainly a problem in our nation. However, with all the national concern given to children and obesity, let us not forget all the children who are hungry every day in our country. The children whose parent missed an appointment who are denied money for food that month, the children whose families do not have money for food at the end of the month, children whose parents do not know how to access food or who lack transportation, or crave fresh produce .....it certainly deserves the same amount of national attention.
