Childhood Obesity

👶 CHILDHOOD OBESITY 👶

Childhood obesity is on the rise in the U.S., and this should alarm the everyone!

The new narrative is that obesity is genetic. Yes, obesity can run in families, but is it really due to passing on genes? ❓

There are RARE diseases that have a high propensity towards obesity. However, that is not a typical case of obesity. There are countless examples of people eating properly, exercising, and working their way out of obesity, even when other members of their families are obese.

What else could be the reason besides genetics? Are these families eating the same foods? ❓

One or two people are responsible for buying the food and feeding the rest of the family. (Don't forget school lunches!) The children often do not purchase any of the foods they eat.

How can we get to meaningful solutions if we cannot address the correct problems? Question❓
