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.

at least a day. Reheat and serve.

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.
The New Jersey dairy ■princess
program is sponsored by the
American Dairy Association and
Dairy Council Inc., as well as the

events, promoting milk and dairy
products throughout New Jersey.
The girls will be asked to at
tend such events as state conven
tions, state fairs and shows, dairy
princess pageants, and various
other promotional events spon
sored by ADADC, Inc. and Mid
Atlantic.
