Fast Food and Obesity Trends
Who will win? Adults or Kids
My favorite type of news to read is health news. I’m sure you probably could’ve guessed that 
But, simply keeping up on the current health happenings can be complicated and overwhelming.
When I was catching up on some fast food & obesity studies that were showcased in the New York Times, I came up with a great idea for a little health competition. Read on . . .
In June of this year the New York Times published some statistics on health trends. One article focused on children’s health trends. The other article focused on adults’ health trends.
But before you take a look at the following comparison I put together, see if you can make any predictions. Let’s make this a family affair. Go get your kids from the other room. I’ll wait . . . and see if your children can try to make some better predictions than you.
Parents & Children, Welcome to the Face Off!
Who is Healthier & Smarter?
Make your predictions first:
1.) Who has been getting more fruits and veggies into their diet? Adults? or Kids?
2.) Who has been slacking because they have been eating less fruits and veggies than they used to? Adults? or Kids?
3.) Who has been making healthier beverage choices this past year than they have ever made before? Adults? or Kids?
4.) Who has been consuming more before & after-dinner-drinks than in previous years? (I guess this one is a ‘give-away’ because we aren’t gonna even touch the topic of underage drinking here.)
5.) Who have been seen to take steps to fight obesity? (One example is by choosing the healthier options on fast food menus) Adults? or Kids?
6.) Who has seen an overall rise in obesity? (One reason is a decrease in exercise) Adults? or Kids?
