You are making your kids stupid, too.
"These days, the health of our youth is more compromised than ever - and this prevalence of chronic illness may very well jeopardize kids' ability to learn or change how students learn or in what kind of environment.Like parents, like kids.
Because of asthma, for example, children in the United States ages 5 to 17 missed 12.8 million school days in 2003. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that asthma "steals the breath" of about 10 percent of children nationwide. In Denver, it is estimated that asthma affects nearly 19 percent of students...
According to the California Department of Education, more than 32 percent of all youth in California are overweight and approximately 74 percent are unfit. As a result, chronic illness, such as juvenile diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure and even heart disease will be endemic among our youth in the future. And yet research consistently shows that healthy, active and well-nourished children and youth are more likely to attend school and are more prepared and motivated to learn."
Fat, sick and stupid.
The child abuse trifecta.
Stop it.
