Shocking Research?!?!?

I can't say that I found any shocking information during the process of researching on Childhood Obesity. This is a common and serious problem in today's culture. I did, however, realize how much television affects your diet. For example, in my paper I wrote about Trix cereal and how General Mills uses a Rabbit to catch kids' attention and making them want the sugary cereal. I also realized how much schools play a role in childhood obesity by offering vending machines in several locations. High-calorie and sugary foods are way too accessible for children today.

  1. I have noticed also if the parents exercise and eat foods that are good for them then the kids will exercise and eat better.
