The childhood obesity epidemic is so prevalent in our country that experts say this may be the first time in history that parents will outlive their children. That is a sobering prediction. This course examines the problem, offers suggestions for helping solve it, and tells what it feels will happen if we do nothing. After completing the course assignments, students are also required to analyze this epidemic and relate what they feel we should be doing to end this destructive trend based on what they learned in the course or from other sources.
