Too little exercise and too much super sizing fast food are leading causes of epidemic child obesity. 

What is the answer to this you say?

Serve healthy food, get the kids away from the TV and the computer, and get them to go outside and play, and be a role model.

Kids whose parents are active tend to model that behavior and we can't forget what a role model we are for our kids.

It's critical for the whole family to get involved with combating obesity and removing its causes and the sooner the better; obese children become obese teens, and then obese adults.

If you're obese you have to treat yourself and set a good example for that child.

It is essential that parents set reasonable weight loss goals and reward children with something other than food.
