President Obama proclaimed that September is now national childhood obesity awareness month. He stated " We now face a national childhood obesity crisis with nearly one in every three of America's children being overweight or obese." I think it is SO sad that we have to even have a month dedicated to the awareness of our children becoming obese. Really, our President has to call it a "crisis" before anything gets done to help our kids? We should not need to be told by our government to prepare and eat meals at home as a family or should we told to get outside & play. This is what has been happening naturally for years in the life of a family...why is it SO difficult to do now? It's not really. Turn off the TVs & computers and find your way back into your kitchens. Shop, cook, eat & play with your family. You just may be saving their lives.
