In the United States, the percentage of children and adolescents affected by obesity has more than tripled since the 1970s. Data shows that nearly 1 in 5 school-age children and young people (6 to 19 years) in the United States have obesity. At Life School, we are working to change that statistic for our students. One way we are doing so is by teaching our students about the importance of making healthy food choices. And we are trying to make it fun!
