Action For Children, Childhood Obesity Symposium

12/9/2011

 
LaNiyah and her parents attended the Action for children, childhood obesity symposium a few weeks ago. Speakers on the events panel talked about the ever increasing rate of childhood obesity and ways to prevent it and the health risks.
The symposium was held at Schroeder Park in Broadview, Illinois and hosted speakers from the community, the US House of Representatives, health care professionals and childcare providers.

It was great to see that finally others are actually realizing that not all cases of childhood obesity comes from an unhealthy lifestyle. I think some of the major food companies need to be held accountable. They need to shed light on all the chemicals and hormones they are using in the foods they 'deem' as safe.  The cancer causing agents, the hormones that are making our young children go into puberty early. Let's talk about that.  It's pure greed! And it's SAD....

Childhood obesity has become a 'stigma' and our babies are being bullied and ridiculed because of it.

Yes, have you heard about the arsenic that most juice companies have been using in our children's fruit juice? Arsenic causes obesity, cancer, adhd and many other issues.... It's about time the food companies are held liable. LaNiyah you are an inspiration to many that have gone through what you are going through.
