A look at why childhood obesity is rising quickly.

2. Many blame the parents, but I believe
there are many more variables to
blame.

• Pick kids up from school
• Change clothes
• Drive to dance class (or other
extracurricular activities)
• Too late to make dinner so fast
food companies have made it easy
to “run by” and get food….

One of the girls is reading a homework assignment- In
the car, on the way to get dinner.

21. emotional
Although we may think the
following pictures are “cute”,
Our society is making it ok for kids
to learn bad eating habits.
When in reality, as soon as they get
into their teen years or even pre-teen
that image drastically changes.
Our society no longer sees it as
“cute” but as obese and even ugly.
