Stamp out Childhood Obesity and keep our kids healthy and having fun! having funh!

It's taking over our kids and our future. We've created the first generation of kids that will NOT outlive their parents. Adult disease is now kids disease. We need to get this under control. Team sports won't do it, these kids need to find out how to have fun again, while they are active. So many team sports tend to make overwieght kids continue to feel bad about themselves, not to mention half of the sports kids participate in they are not really participating in, they spend most of their time waiting for a turn. Our kids need fun, creative, non-competitive, cooperative game play like when we were kids. Play tag in your backyards, play ball, dodge ball, all the fun we had should be continued with your family. It's up to our parents to make a healthy lifestyle for our kids and work together to keep them healthy. Find places in your neighborhood that encourage group participation and active play. Feed them good, basic food from all the food groups. Try not to feed them the junk that is thrown in their faces on a daily basis. Fruit, veges, meats, rice, potatoes - If it grows in the ground find new ways to encourage them to eat it. They'll love you for it. Post recipes and fun ideas to keep our kids fit.
