BY DANIEL WILLIAMS FUN PAGE EDITOR C hild obesity has become a major issue in the Unit- ed States for the past couple of years. On average children aging from 6 to 11 showed a 7% obesity rate in 1970 to an 18% increase in 2010. In similarity, adolescents aging for 11 to 19 have showed a 13% increase in child obesity since 1970. Studies show that in 2010 over one third of children and adolescents were either over- weight or obese. Children and adolescents who are obese are more likely to be obese as adults and are therefore more at risk for adult health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and several types of cancer. Healthy lifestyle habits, including healthy eating and physical activity, can lower the risk of becoming obese and developing related diseases.
