* Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. The prevalence of obesity among children aged 6 to 11 years was a whopping 19.6% in 2008, according to the CDC. Among adolescents aged 12 to 19 it was 18.1%.
* Obesity in both children and adults can be partially attributed to unhealthy eating habits and physical inactivity.
* One of the easiest - and most effective - ways to keep your kids at a healthy weight is to give them nutritious foods and help them make healthy choices.
