Many Reasons For Childhood Obesity COLUMBUS. Ohio Why is there such an explosion of child hood obesity these days? Research has shown what common sense might tell you: There are a lot of reasons why so many children can be classified as obese today. According to the American Obesity Association, more than 15 percent of children ages 6 through 12 are obese. That’s up from 11 percent in 1988-1994 and 7 percent in 1976-1980. Type II diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure, orthopedic complica tions and other physical problems can result. Why is this happening? Re searchers have identified many risk factors. If parents are obese, children are more likely to be, too. Genet ics and common eating habits are both likely causes. As with adults, a poor diet and limited amount of physical activity often add up to extra weight. Some researchers have pointed out changes in schools’ food of ferings as one reason for larger school kids. Students often have unlimited access to high-calorie, low-nutrition foods as a la carte items in the cafeteria line and in vending machines. In addition, required courses in physical edu cation also have declined, de creasing the amount of activity and exercise students have as part of their school day.

Reheat and serve. She usually makes 500-600. EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE CHICKEN STRIPS Boneless, skinless chicken breasts buy as many as needed Place between sheets of waxed paper and pound. Cut into strips, about 1-inch wide. Dip lightly in flour, shake off, and lightly fry in a deep layer of olive oil. Keep doing this until all batches are finished. As you fry the chicken strips, start layering in a plastic covered container, sprinkling each one with garlic salt. When finished, pour Italian salad dress ing over all (not creamy type) and set in refrigerator at least a day until ready to serve. Reheat. Also, some research indicates that children in families who do not eat together at the dinner table are more likely to be over weight than those who do. Ras ing attention to what children eat seems to help. Another problem: Eating too many chips, candy bars and other unhealthfui snacks. Sugary soft drinks also fall into this cat egory. In fact, 12 percent of pre school-age children, 33 percent of school-age children, and more than 50 percent of adolescents average 9 ounces of soft drinks or more a day. Other reasons: An inability to determine proper portion sizes. Eating due to stress, bore dom or other reasons besides hunger. Eating too much fast food. Not participating in enough activity or exercise. Dietitians recommend that parents, educators and health care providers work together to make healthful foods more avail able and decrease access to foods with little nutritional value. Par ents can help by eating together as a family as often as possible, paying attention to what their children eat and encouraging children to engage in an hour of physical activity daily.
