Prevailing wisdom insists that children today are heavier and less fit and therefore as much as four times more subject to
the diseases associated with being overweight and obesity than 20 years ago.
That’s the bad news.
The good news is that we can fix it.
Increased Activity, improved nutrition, and controlling intake
of quantities of food are all part of the formula.
Parents, teachers, the media, the medical community,
and politicians are the people necessary to implement the
formula.
This book is an effort to raise the level of awareness
among young people so they can choose the path to
becoming healthier adults.
