Childhood Obesity in the United States of America




Obesity in the United States is one of the finest concerns in young children health. Children that are obese and overweight are at a high risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, and asthma. It is essential for we as care givers to help stop the spread of obese and overweight in our children. Obese interests me because every child has the right for a healthy life. Because every child deserves to be healthy and that they will learn that they are to persevere despite their challenges. The United States is the leading state in childhood obese and over weighted children. We must get with First lady Michelle Obama and fight against this hungry demon that has a strong on our children health.

In China, there is a 15 percentage of citizens are overweight or obese according to Education Ministry data. The closest comparison in a 2006 report by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found that 18.8% of Americans between the ages of 6-11 are overweight. Chinese’s believe the bigger the children are the more prosper they are. The UNICEF Foundation believes that obese is a major problem in China today According to Chinese’s big is better in the News http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/world/2007.
I can make should that I supply the children and myself a nutrition breakfast, get plenty of rest, exercise, and put on a smiling face. I can laugh because laughter does well like medicine. I can issue out resources on how important it is to be in nutritional health. Get one on one with my parents and help educate them on the risen of obese and it is essential for our children to eat healthy, exercise, and to take care of ourselves; to explain to my parents to love themselves by eating right and staying healthy.

  1. Hi Cedar your post was very informative to me about China and it's obesity problem. I believed that Chinese people were healthier because of how they often use many vegetables in foods they eat. This goes to show "knowledge is power". (Bacon, 1597).

    1. Exactly! It really shows that you don't know a person's culture, until you study them.

  2. Obesity is a problem that is affecting more and more people around the world. After completing a group project a year ago on childhood obesity it is not surprising to see that one of the major issues contributing to childhood obesity is the lack of physical activity they are getting. Children is school today only get physical education class once a week or one quarter in a school year and little to no outside time at home. It is great to see that our President and First Lady of the United States of America both are physically active and the First Lady is pushing for a more active America.
