Thanks Ms Obama: Why Obesity Rates are Falling Among Preschoolers

[ClosedCaption]

economy sucks. poor arent able to buy food like they normally would. not surprising that the obesity rate drops.

That would actually increase the obesity from cheap unhealthy foods

oh gawd you liberals worshipping YOUR MASTERS...it's creepy and pretty damn sick

now as for Obesity going down, if it is it isn't because some UNELECTED person who has no right legislating anything has turned schools into little concentration camps and FORCING FOOD ON YOUR CHILDREN.AND IF THEY ARE weight it's because of smaller portion, and they are THROWING AWAY the foods being FORCED ON THEM.. I worked in a school until recently and believe me the children aren't happy campers...they are hunger at school so that doesn't help their attitudes and basically they are starving your children with their pie in the sky idiot ideas..

Now go kiss the Mabells picture or something before you cream your jeans

What on earth are you arguing? Hungry kids makes good politics? Non obese kids are being intentionally fattened up? Giving food to children is bad for your political position?

Should we all become Conservatives if for any other reason but to assuage guilt over having malnutrition among our children and liking it because it's somehow politically expedient? What are family values?

I use to be against Abortion as a good conservative... BUT when i learned that 44% of ALL abortions are by women who already had one or more abortions it became very very clear what Planned Parenthood's charter was doing on behalf of humanity!!!

And since 73% of black kids are still surviving without wedlock, Blacks are continuing the ethnic genocidal activities, i.e. reducing the chances
of the most successful method of advancing a society, i.e marriage between man and woman and the two-parent protection of off-spring.
Blacks are self-destructing it appears and coincidently Planned Parenthood with 45% of revenue coming from tax dollars was started
by Sanger to reduce the black population.. which it appears to be done successfully!
In a 1926 speech at Vassar, Sanger said the nation needed to follow the "drastic immigration laws" of 1924 with methods "to cut down on
the rapid multiplication of the unfit and undesirable at home. The entire operation [Sanger's 1939 Negro Project] then was a ruse--a
manipulative attempt to get Blacks to cooperate in their own elimination.

In other words "Darwin's Survival of the Fittest' at it's finest!
What kind of people would there be if all those women that HAD no problem in having sex and getting pregnant they are just assuring more defective genes are NOT being passed on by having their 3rd, 4th abortion!
Yup... and all those liberal/progressives FIGHTING for the right to abortions on demand... just killing off voters!
Go for it!!!

Yeah.. because the REP first ladies and presidents supported couch potato activity levels

Idiotic

Well the original initiative began in 2004. Gee, who was President then?



"The HealthierUS School Challenge (HUSSC) is a voluntary initiative established in 2004 to recognize those schools participating in the National School Lunch Program that have created healthier school environments through promotion of nutrition and physical activity.

In February 2010, First Lady Michelle Obama introduced Let's Move!, incorporating the HealthierUS School Challenge into her campaign to raise a healthier generation of kids. At the time, monetary incentive awards became available for each HUSSC award level: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Gold Award of Distinction.

So it's a good thing only when Bush does it? Gotcha

And the hypocritical little automatons LOVED it when it was coming from their idol, Schwarzenegger.

Thank Your Mrs. Obama and just ignore the fat idiots on the right.

Arnie was the rights idol?......thats a new one.....

Farther back:

A New Federal Agency Shapes Up

As a military man, President Dwight D. Eisenhower was probably already sensitive to the issue of physical fitness. Military officers grumbled about the condition of draftees during World War II and the Korean War. But concern about fitness peaked in the mid-1950s with publication of an international study that found American children far less fit than children in other countries. In response, President Eisenhower established the President's Council on Youth Fitness with Executive Order 10673, issued on July 16, 1956.

I don't care whether Bush or Obama caused the decrease in childhood obesity. I applaud them both on their efforts. Any administration has to recognize that an obese population is less productive for the state. And any intelligent population has to recognize that obesity is counterproductive to resisting state control. I see it as a win/win for both sides. No need to bring partisan politics into it.

the Far Right and Left will bring politics into the upcoming Magnetic Pole reversal from the Sun...

 

[Moonglow]

But the GOP likes obese children, it's a softer meat for the banquet.

Got any recipes you'd like to share?

When I was in high school and someone got in their head they wanted to get married, people would ask, 'what will you live on.' They would say, 'we will live on love for 9 months, and then eat the baby.'

Why Obesity Rates are Falling Among Preschoolers | TIME.com

Between 2008 and 2011, 18 U.S. states and one territory reported small, but statistically significant declines in obesity among this group of preschoolers. The findings, based on data from12 million children aged two to four years who participate in federally funded maternal- and child-nutrition programs, show that childhood obesity rates in Florida, Georgia, Missouri, New Jersey, South Dakota, and the U.S. Virgin Islands declined by at least a 1%, and 20 other states and Puerto Rico maintained their current rates while only three states saw slight increases. The results are encouraging, since in the U.S., about one in eight preschoolers are obese, and kids are five times more likely to be overweight or obese as adults if they are overweight between the ages of three and five.

“We’ve seen isolated reports in the past that have had encouraging trends, but this is the first report to show many states with declining rates of obesity in our youngest children after literally decades of rising rates,” says Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the CDC.

Frieden credits the turn-around to a combination of more intensive government programs to provide healthy foods to low-income families, as well as greater awareness of the importance of nutrition and healthy weight overall. For example, the the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, which provides nutritious foods and information on healthy eating and health care referrals to low-income pregnant women, promotes breastfeeding and offers whole fruits and vegetables instead of fruit juice. Breastfeeding has been linked in some studies to lower rates of obesity among children, and studies show that kids who eat fresh produce are less likely to turn to the high-calorie, sugary snacks and beverages that have been associated with weight gain. And programs like Let’s Move!, which encourage kids to be physically active, are also helping youngsters to maintain a healthy balance between the amount of calories they eat and the amount they burn off.

I guess you thought Nancy Reagan's "Just say no" to drugs and Laura Bush's literacy programs were just as repugnant, right?
Cut backs to school programs via the good old GOP is the problem you are trying to express.
