Our Children are Dying…
With the right education, simple tools and step-by-step commitment outlined in The Last Generation, we can reverse this deadly trend
____________________________________________________
With an onslaught of billions of dollars in marketing, a microwave lifestyle and overburdened system of information, is it any wonder our kids are getting fatter?
When you combine irresponsible greed and misguided bureaucrats with the stress of being a parent (single or married) is it any wonder our kids are in peril?
•4.2 MILLION children (ages 6 to 11) are overweight
•Average medical spending per obese person: $3,271. Non-obese: $512
•Since 1960 obesity rates have tripled
•The average family of 4 spends $7,280 per year on fast food, candy and soda
•Employers may charge obese workers 30-50% more for health insurance if they decline to participate in a qualified wellness program
The risk of dying by middle age is 2 to 3 times higher for an overweight person than for someone of a normal weight based on a BMI standard. By the time our children are in their 70’s, overall life expectancy will reverse its trend of a longer life.
Our children may not live as long as us.
The Last Generation is not simply a book that outlines the facts, trends and obesity epedemic of a nation, inside these pages, you’ll find a common sense solution to reversing this trend before its too late.
