If you ever put your ear to the ground of our nation's health trends and listen closely, you'd hear a disheartening rhythm. The symphony of life in America lately has been playing a somber tune, titled 'Childhood Obesity'. This haunting melody is characterized by a rise of severe obesity in young children. Indeed, the health narrative of today’s children has taken a turn for the worse and it's time we face the music.
Just when we thought that the needle on the graph of obesity rates among children was dipping a bit in favor of their well-being — the good times rolled for a brief decade, something bizarre happened. It bounced right back up, casting a gloom on the healthscape of the nation. This 'bounce-back' tune has been hitting making waves all over the nation, touching even the most vulnerable segment of society — preschool-aged children.
