Causes
The number of kids
affected by obesity has
tripled since 1980, and
this can be traced in
large part to lack of
exercise and a
healthy
diet.

Effects
While
approximately one in
every 400 children and
adolescents have Type I
diabetes; recent
Government reports
indicate that one in
every three children
born in 2000 will suffer
from obesity, which as
noted is a predominant
Type II precursor.

Treatment

ever, we as parents and
a nation must do
something about the
growth of obesity in our
children. We must do
more than just talk, we
must be concerned enough
to act.
