Self Published Author, Researchers Suggest Ways of Fighting Childhood Obesity
The Institute of Medicine, the National Research Council and author T. Alan Brenner present strategies for battling the obesity dilemma among American children.
Bloomington, IN, September 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Institute of Medicine and National Research Council has released a new report that suggests ways of fighting childhood obesity in the United States. The report recommends that government tax junk food and soft drinks, give tax breaks to grocery stores that serve in desolate areas.
The independent research findings also point out other suggestions such as the limitation of television and video games in after-school programs, the requirement of a calorie count list on restaurant menus, and the accessibility of school playgrounds and athletic fields to communities.
As these and other solutions to the problem of obesity are being mapped out to make it easier for children to eat healthfully, the weight issue continues to plague many of America's younger population. This is something author T. Alan Brenner understands very well.
In the self-published release, The Childhood Obesity Dilemma, Brenner defines the factors that have contributed to the creation, sustenance, and proliferation of the childhood obesity problem as well as provides the reader with the realistic solutions society has failed to recognize. His approach to the weight dilemma is detailed in steps that anyone can take to reverse the childhood obesity trend.
The Childhood Obesity Dilemma is more than a self-help book it is a long overdue and critical look at the growing childhood affliction currently being suffered by nearly one-third of all school-aged children in the United States.
Parents, community leaders, and educational policy makers will find Brenner's work a must-read especially if they are to win the battle against childhood obesity.
The Childhood Obesity Dilemma is published by Xlibris.
