The real solution to childhood obesity lies in changing our built environment. There's no other way to approach it.

As childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes continue to rise at unprecedented rates, it is crucial that families make nutrition and exercise an everyday priority. There are many simple changes that can become lifelong habits. These include making neighborhood walks part of a family's routine, making fruits and vegetables available at home and at school and reducing the amount of sugar in beverages and baked goods.

We try to promote healthy behavior for a lifetime.

Research about the prevention of obesity should consider infancy, as well as childhood.

It's a bold and sweeping step that industry and childhood obesity advocates have decided to take together.
