We need to be more vocal in spreading this message so that everyone is aware of the dangers of childhood obesity. TV commercials, radio commercials and different forms of advertisements would help bring this message to everyone and people from different backgrounds. This was an amazing strategy that worked for the tobacco industry and helped reduce smoking among teenagers. If the community could come together and work on educating each other and their children, that would be great. It can help everyone know what they are eating and getting enough exercise. We need to spread the word to help parents make sure their children are active and providing enough fruits and vegetables in their diet. Parents should also eat well and exercise with their families and their children - this will make a huge difference and have a huge impact on their children's lives. Parents need to set an example and teach their children a healthy lifestyle, this is something that children will grow up with and continue to do daily into their lives and adulthood. This will also impact these kids when they become adults with their own families and begin a journey of teaching their families and children and a new generation healthy habits. Health care providers can do their best to notice the signs of overweight children and start educating parents before the situation gets worse. Providers must ensure they intercept these patients early and provide parents with the tools and information to help their children. We must all do our part to ensure that everyone has the resources and help to fight this epidemic. Awareness should help this problem, and if everyone does their part, I believe we can see a reduction in the number of overweight children and adolescents in the United States. This is a big concern and with the right efforts and support it will be something we can achieve
