Are They Killing Your Kids?
Schools Called To Help In Fight Against
Child Obesity
Child Obesity is still on the rise even though an announcement in 2005 made by a representative of the UK's 2,500 school nurses, called for schools to help in their fight against Child
Obesity.
Ros Godson, from the Community Practitioners' and Health Visitors' Association (CPHVA), advises every school to have their own equipment for weighing and measuring
overweight children in an effort to keep abreast of the problem of
child obesity.
Research, carried out in 2005 to help ministers understand the scale of the problem, warned half the population will be obese within 25 years if current trends continue.
It's Not Enough to Halt Child Obesity
Weighing and measuring children at school will not solve the growing
child obesity problem. Ministers are already aware that child obesity exists and it needs addressing in practical terms.
So here we are, six years after the research carried out in 2005 and child obesity is still
escalating.
So What’s the Answer to Child Obesity?
Instead of weighing and measuring children at school, authorities should concentrate on educating both children and
their families about child obesity.
They should be showing them how to improve their diets
by promoting healthy eating for kids as well as
encouraging children to take more exercise.
But more importantly, steps should be taken to prevent food manufacturers from targeting children and promoting unhealthy food directly to them. Food manufacturers must be made to take more responsibility in their role of encouraging
child obesity.
