A new study just came out for the first time that tracks childhood obesity y state. This was done by The Trust for America’s help.

The study is called F as in Fat: How Obesity Policies are Failing in America, 2007
Some of the major factors include poverty and lack of excercise. (no brainer)

1. What are your thoughts around childhood obesity?
2. What do you think is the key to prevent it?
3. As parents, how can we play a role in that not just for our own kids, but their friends as well?

Yoga helped me to lose weight and overcome addictions and self esteem issues. Now I want to find a way to help my loved ones to overcome obesity. Please help as I am concerned for the health and happiness of my precious family.

JudasHero asked:


I’m looking for books or sites, etc. on issues dealing with obesity, whether they be objective (information on what obesity is and its consequences) or subjective (personal accounts of people dealing with obesity, moral and legal issues, etc). Anyone know of any?

think4yorself asked:


I have heard there is a link between eating that and obesity. Should I eliminate it from my diet if I am trying to lose weight? It is in everything–ketchup, bread, mayo and other processed food. Should I go on the non-processed food diet?
