What can we do about the child obesity epidemic?


 


Our Parenting Channel Producers want feedback from around iVillage to this question...


 


Child obesity is on the rise in this country, and its dangerous health effects -- both during childhood and later in life -- are becoming increasingly well-known. As a parent, as a friend, or simply as a concerned American, what do you think can be done to help solve this crisis?


 


Thank you for taking the time to add your thoughts.

If the parents are showing healthy food habits at home ..
The kids will as have role models to follow as
