<br/><br/> "America's children are getting fat--so fat that they may grow up to be the unhealthiest generation in decades. The alarm over childhood obesity rang in 2002. New data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey showed that 15.5 percent of children were seriously overweight and 15 percent more were at risk of becoming so. That was triple the rate of 20 years earlier." (SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS) This article reveals the conclusion reached by "nutritionists and public health officials about the 9 million overweight and 9 million at-risk youths: Children were getting less exercise than ever, just as the food industry was overwhelming time-pressed families with inexpensive, high-calorie convenience foods, snacks and sodas."
