and exercise habits that they need for healthy, happy lives. The problem of childhood obesity in the United States
has grown considerably in recent years. Unhealthy weight gain due to poor diet and lack of exercise is responsible for
over 300,000 deaths each year according to research. Researchers estimate that children and young adults may have a shorter
life expectancy than their parents if the obesity epidemic is left unadressed.
