April Is National Child Abuse Prevention Month - 30 Tips and Facts in 30 Days

With certainty, fattening kids up by making them overweight/obese is child abuse.

Nutritional child abuse is the most common form of child abuse of which we are aware. About one-third of all kids are overweight or obese. April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month in the USA. To help these children, who are arguably the most abused on earth, Fitness Watch will offer 30 tips and facts – one for each day in April – directed at saving the children. Even if you are not from the USA, these facts and tips can help you and your children, too.

Today’s Tip – if you attend a religious institution, you have an opportunity to do good. Approach the religious leader and exhort him or her to make fitness a priority for him- or her-self and the congregation. For example, you could suggest that the harm overweight/obesity causes the body God provides is a violation of God’s laws. Although your belief system may be different from this example, there is likely a similar argument you can use.

If the religious leader is overweight/obese, then convince him or her to shed the pounds publicly and possibly as a challenge to include the congregation.
