I've selected childhood obesity as my course project challenge. I chose childhood obesity because I see some many children and families living with obesity. First Lady, Michelle Obama, has worked on initiatives such as Let's Move Campaign and the National School Lunch Program to help address childhood obesity.
I believe a healthier lifestyle which includes fresh fruits and vegetables, home cooked meals, and exercise will improve the lives of children and attack childhood obesity. I see a lot of families which frequent fast food restaurant, consume a lot of high sugar drinks, and have limited physical daily activities. The busy life styles of many on the go families can contribute to an unhealthy life style.
What kind of barriers do you feel families face concerning childhood obesity?
