SURVIVING ABUNDANCE: Overweight Kids in Crisis

A half hour documentary, produced by WHRO, examines the epidemic of childhood obesity. Childhood health professionals paint a grim picture for the future of overweight children unless we begin to make systemic changes that support more healthy choices. Local, state and national childhood health experts, including William H. Dietz, Jr., MD, PhD, Director of Nutrition & Physical Activity at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, discuss steps we can take to turn the tide, and the program highlights organizations with exemplary programs which encourage healthier lifestyles.

Surviving Abundance was produced in collaboration with the Consortium for Infant and Child Health (CINCH), a community partnership to promote health and prevent disease among all children in Hampton Roads.

Adults always worry about the kids weight. What about the parents themselves? And if the adults cared so much...arent they the ones who put the "

ads" out in the first place. Thats all they ant to blame it on.

People always talk about how skinny or muscular kids tease/bullies the fat kids, but we never hear about that problem in Europe and Asia... Does that mean that American kids are raised to be bullies? I live in Norway, and i have NEVER heard or seen anything like that in the area where i live, or anywhere else for that matter.
