In an announcement that's picking up considerable press, the Alliance for a Healthier Generation (which includes the American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation) has announced it's doing something to prevent kids from getting fatter. They're calling for kids to visit dieticians, many of whom are so utterly ignorant of nutrition that they still don't believe raw foods are nutritionally different from cooked foods. (Remarkably, they still don't teach this stuff to dieticians...)
If these grandstanding initiatives sound familiar, it's because the same organizations announced a big initiative a few years ago to remove soft drinks from public schools. Guess what? The soft drinks are still there, and the kids are still fat. And that's why they need this new announcement, of course, which will make no difference either.
Do you really want to stop childhood obesity? Sign my Health Revolution Petition at www.HealthRevolutionPetition.org and dare to call for REAL, revolutionary changes in health care that will end the sick care system and restore real health to children and adults alike!
And get those kids off high-fructose corn syrup, pushed by the Corn Refiners Association.

Authors' Quotes on Children and Obesity Below, you'll find selected quotes from noted authors on the subject of Children and Obesity. Feel free to quote these in your own work provided you give proper credit to both the original author quoted here and this NaturalNews page.
Consider our children, who are spending more time with computers, television and video games, and less time at physical play. From 1960 to 2000, obesity among U.S. Children aged six to ten years increased 54 percent. Parents, do not kid yourselves: Few children outgrow weight problems. Eighty percent of obese children and adolescents become obese adults. These high obesity levels in children already are contributing to widespread diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. These conditions frequently are associated with obesity and used to be rare in children.

The obesity epidemic tracks the 4-A epidemics, as well as the diabetes epidemic, and is closely related to them. One link among all of these disorders is the presence of inflammation, which is now regarded as a significant trigger of obesity. Obesity has doubled among children and adolescents during the past twenty years. Now, an estimated 20 percent of all American children are obese or overweight.
