Review for Chopchopkids Inc, Belmont, MA, USA
The numbers are stunning. Nearly one out of every three American children is obese or at a risk of becoming obese—25 million children in all, with children in minority families at an even greater risk. Obesity is the most common disease of childhood, and it’s largely preventable. All of us need to see the rising childhood obesity rates for what they are: a medical emergency.
