I appreciate your answer.
Would you mind if I asked one more question?

”One in five children in the United States are diagnosed with obesity. That’s a lot of our children.”
Dr. Polly Rost has a front row seat in the childhood obesity epidemic.
She estimates a quarter of American children don’t exercise regularly.
The average school-age child watches four to six hours of TV every day, bombarded by commercials for fast food and junk. #1 “Childhood obesity speaks to a culture that is really struggling to build health and fitness into the fiber of our day in, day out weekly activity.”
Children in lower income families are twice as likely to become obese. The long term impact of chronic illnesses stemming from being overweight could crush this country’s healthcare system. It is quite possible that for the first time in our nation’s history we will have a generation of children who are sicker and die younger than their parents.
“There are serious medical problems; coronary heart disease, cancers. All of those medical concerns will very much impact on the quality of life for children.”
But it’s a problem that does have a solution.
“Be deliberate about setting a healthy balance of work and play and encourage our children to get out and play, to move about, and to possibly model that.”
