The CDC says that 17% of our nations kids (ages 6-19) suffer from obesity - not just being overweight, but being obese.  They define obesity as having a body mass index (BMI) at or above the 95 percentile for kids of the same age and sex.

This is your chance to chime in on a very heated topic. I’ve already posted the question to some folks on an email.  Now, I’d like to hear from more of you.  Do you have kids yourself?  If so, do you believe television and video games are part of the problem?  What do you think is/are the factor(s) behind the child obesity rate, which is showing a trend toward growing?

Be sure to write down your city.
