Al Roker show on Child Obesity

I'll be watching this for sure. "Childhood Obesity: Danger Zone" premieres Saturday (9 p.m. EDT) on the FOODTV network. " The documentary explores why more than 12 million children and teenagers have serious weight problems and the health risks they face. It profiles young people who have successfully turned things around. A bit about the show as posted on Yahoo news. "If you run the numbers out, this would be the first generation that has a shorter life span than their parents," Roker told The Associated Press. "That's scary." Obesity in young people has quadrupled in 40 years, he said. Many factors contribute: sugary junk food made attractive by relentless television advertising, the rise in fast-food restaurants, sedentary kids more interested in video games or computers than running in the yard, and schools that don't offer much physical education anymore. "Parents bear a responsibility," he said. "Children model what they see. So if you, as a parent, are not eating well and do not lead an active lifestyle, that's what they are going to do."
