According to the Centers for Disease Control, obesity now affects 1 in 5 children and adolescents in the United States.

It's estimated that an average of 17% of American children ages 2-19 are obese or overweight. Since 1980, obesity rates among teens ages 12-19 quadrupled, from 5% to over 20%. Poor nutrition is everywhere; only 2% of school-age children consistently eat well. Kids are less active overall due to today's fast-paced, but sedentary, lifestyles.

School-age children watch an average of 32 or more hours of television per week. Studies show overweight kids miss school 4 times as much as normal weight kids. Low income and minority children are most seriously at risk. Unhealthy weight gain due to poor diet and lack of exercise is responsible for over 300,000 deaths each year – the 4th leading cause of death in the U.S.

Obesity is among the easiest medical conditions to recognize, but most difficult to treat. A child who is overweight or obese is more likely to be overweight or obese as an adult. Obese children are now developing health problems that used to be seen only in adults. When these problems begin in childhood, they often become more severe when the child becomes an adult.
