With good reason, childhood obesity is now the No. 1 health concern among parents in the United States, topping drug abuse and smoking. • Among children today, obesity is causing a broad range of health problems that previously weren’t seen until adulthood. These include high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and elevated blood cholesterol levels. There are also psychological effects: Obese children are more prone to low self-esteem, negative body image and depression. • Source: American Heart Association Obesity
