"Community-led efforts to improve access to healthy food have been transformational"--you ARE making a difference!
The State of Childhood Obesity released its 2024 Annual Report at https://stateofchildhoodobesity.org/2024-annual-report/, and it shows that some community-led programs across the U.S. are leading to healthier lifestyles.
Did you know according to the CDC:
- Approximately 1 in 5 U.S. children and adolescents have obesity.
- Obesity affects some groups more than others, including adolescents, Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black children, and children in families with lower incomes. (https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/childhood-obesity-facts/childhood-obesity-facts.html)
NICHQ provides a plethora of resources to help with healthy kids initiatives that is called the Obesity Toolkit. Click to get your free Obesity Toolkit here.
