Adults Managing Weight, Childhood Obesity & Too Fat To Fight

I'm always hungry. Are you? It makes it difficult to shop wisely for groceries and to make smart menu decisions for those rare occasions I get to see the inside of a restaurant. Food is such a large part of our lives. We all need to make smart decisions. Here are 2 reports from the CDC's Preventing Chronic Disease journal that discuss eating at restaurants and childhood obesity: 

• Strategies for and Barriers to Managing Weight When Eating at Restaurants 
• Family Structure and Childhood Obesity, Early Childhood Longitudinal Study — Kindergarten Cohort

Did you ever think that Americans would be too fat to join the armed forces? Too Fat to Fight is a report by Mission: Readiness. The subtitle says it all: Retired military leaders want junk food out of America's schools.
