Alarming Statistics on Children's Health
Obesity has become the nation’s number one health epidemic, affecting one out of every five children; this rate has tripled in the last 20 years!
Type 2 diabetes, once considered a disease of adults, has doubled among children and tripled among teens in the last decade.
On the other extreme, eating disorders are at an all time high. By fourth grade, two thirds of the nation’s girls have reportedly gone on a diet because they think they are “fat”.
Less than 1% of today’s children are meeting their nutritional requirements; the average child gets over 50% of their calories from fat and sugar!
Less than half of the nation’s youth reportedly engage in regular physical activity.
The average child sees over 40,000 TV commercials with over 80% of food ads promoting junk foods!
A fabulous, fun, educational program…a must-see for every student and teacher in the country!”
This Is Your Life! should be an annual health assembly for every middle school in the 21st century!”
We never knew that health could be presented in such a fun and cool way—the best show we’ve ever seen!”
I wholeheartedly give this program a 10!!! Get it out to other schools and tell them they can count on me for a great recommendation!”
The assembly was awesome. The problems and issues are real and need to be addressed. The students were attentive, the actors were great, and it was a well organized event for us.”
