The Problem: The Problem Overweight adolescents have a 70% chance of becoming obese adults. (Up to 80% if a parent is obese) The most immediate consequence, as perceived by children, is social discrimination. Source: Surgeon General’s Call to Action


The Problem: The Problem 'Children today have a shorter life expectancy than their parents for the first time in 100 years.' - Dr. Willia J. Klish, professor of pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine


Cost of Obesity: Cost of Obesity Nationally: $117 billion annually and growing. (Time, June 2004) Maryland: $2.5 billion is Maryland’s share. (House Bill 309) Passed on as taxes for Medicare. We all end up paying!


Typical day in the life of children: Typical day in the life of children 83% use screen media 79% read printed materials 79% listen to music (Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation) 50% of children 12-21 rarely or never exercise. (CDC)
