Childhood obesity has tripled in the last 30 years, and 70% of the nation's children are at risk of developing coronary artery diseases prior to reaching the age of 30.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services, children and adolescents are eating more food away from home, drinking more sugar sweetened drinks and snacking more frequently; thus further exacerbating this phenomenon and adding to the 190 million Americans who are currently obese or overweight.
We the undersigned call on the South Carolina State Legislature to impose fat, calorie, sugar content , and portion size standards on all food and beverages sold in Schools and join our fight to end childhood obesity.
