Childhood Obesity No Longer on the Rise...

Healthy Kids Club, Nutrition programs, and well, the general media blitz have apparently begun to pay off. Our local paper, http://www.reporterherald.com/ reports that a national study performed from 2004 to 2007 shows childhood obesity has maintained, rather than risen over that period. This is big news for parents and professionals alike, struggling to treat children with adult diseases. We know, for instance, how to prescribe insulin to a male adult weighing 150 lbs, but what do you do for a 10-year-old? This could also have positive implications for life expectancy of the next generations. Let's hope so, and let's hear it for The Good News Goose!
