As parents do you think we can control childhood obesity?

Well it's soley the responsibility of the parent to make sure their child exercises and eats right. Not saying it's anyone elses responsibility at all, but there are a lot of ways in which schools and communities can help this "epidemic" and I see it working in my area. My daughter's babysitter is a SAHM and her son is in 1st grade. Every Wednesday him and his classlmates have "Marathon Club" after school. He finished up today, got his t-shirt and pizza voucher. He's been doing it for months and has run miles and miles. It's fun for the kids because it's extra non-learning time with their friends and let me tell ya, these kids are CRAZY for free t-shirts and pizza. lol
