In the News recently:
“About one-third of children and teens in the USA — about 25 million children — are overweight or on the brink of becoming so, government data show.” — Childhood Obesity: A Lifetime of Danger.
“Tooth decay is children’s worst chronic health problem, a “hidden epidemic,” — Kids’ Smiles At Risk
Sigh. It looks like we’ll be packing some lunches this year. Perhaps when we talk about health care reform, we can add in some legislation for reforming the way our children eat at school?
