"While it is true that there is no single dietary culprit responsible for childhood obesity, there are certain foods in our grocery stores that are causing kids (and adults!) to unknowingly pack on
extra pounds."3
"Our kids are fatter than ever before and it's putting them at risk for hypertension, diabetes and heart disease." 2
According to a study:
- "Parents differ in their beliefs and opinions about childhood obesity."
- "Thirty five and a half percent of parents of obese children did not perceive that their child was obese."
- "On the one hand, 72% of parents stated they believed an obese child could have problems with heart disease when older."
- "Yet, on the other hand, 43% of parents thought that their own child's weight was fine."
- "53% of parents denied they had a problem controlling what their child ate."1
