DC has the fattest kidsPosted Aug 30th 2007 7:38PM by Sarah J. GimFiled under: East Coast, Culinary Kids, Newspapers, Southern States, America, Health & MedicalDo you and your children live in the "fat belt?"According to a new report by the nonprofit Trust for America's Health, "F as in Fat: How Obesity Policies Are Failing in America," the fat belt stretches through the South and into the Southwest, but the heaviest children are found in Washington D.C. Is it surprising? Not really, since we are well aware of nutrition and physical activity levels of children. Nonetheless, it's still pretty disturbing. According to the Washington Post, which reports the story, "today's children are likely to be the first generation to live shorter, less healthy lives than their parents" if the obesity rate doesn't turn around.
