Here’s a fantastic TV commercial issued in the state of George a decade ago as a PSA against childhood obesity. It’s only 32 seconds but packs a punch!

Could that be you and your child?

Childhood obesity affects children physically, mentally, and emotionally throughout their lives.

Childhood obesity is a result of adult behavior!

DON’T do to your body what you wouldn’t encourage or support your children doing to theirs!
