Recently, the Center of Disease Control issues a report stating that "Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years."1 "Nearly 40% of Georgia's children (ages 6-11) are overweight or obese -- the second-highest rate in the nation -- yet 50% of Georgians don't consider child obesity a problem. What's more, 75% of parents of obese children don't think they have a problem on their hands"2, according to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, the state's largest pediatric health care system.
