Childhood Obesity

Take a look at this video. I have worked on this epidemic in Utah a few years ago with some of the elementary schools. It is a terrible thing and I do not know the cure. Who is to blame?? Part parents, part the food-industry, part advertisers..... But I know it is not hopeless. Kids need food and most kids will eat healthy food if the option is there (particularly in cafeterias-- as long as the food looks appetizing). I think that a lot of kids just don't have the time or means to get out and play anymore (video games and computers are here too), so that is a huge factor as well.
