I was in the hallway of my son’s high school waiting for a teacher meeting talking with another parent who was waiting for her son. Her son walked up and she immediately hit him so hard it knocked him to the floor. As the boy stumbled to get up, his mother said, “We don’t do that kind of stuff at school”. We all were stunned when former Surgeon General Richard Carmona said the increasing childhood obesity epidemic will result in kids having a shorter life expectancy than their parents. How’d we get here? It’s been estimated that the average American is 24 pounds heavier than in 1960. What kind of role model are you for the kids who can’t wait to grow up and be just like you?
