With the present concerns on obesity, Dr. Barry Shapiro, who specializes in treating obese children, told 60 Minutes, “A child who is obese at age 6 has a 50 percent chance of being an obese adult. A teen-ager who is obese has a 70 to 80 percent chance of being an obese adult.” With this statement, it is vital that children can learn to eat nutritious foods while they’re still young to avoid every possibility of becoming obese. Obesity can lead to death from heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer and type II diabetes.
Most obese and overweight teen-agers are pretty much aware of the causes and effects of obesity. Some of them strive hard to lose weight by eating the right kind of food but with French fries, pizza and ice cream served in their school’s cafeteria, it is difficult for them not to be tempted.
“When I lose a little more weight, I think I’ll probably start feeling better around people and stuff” says Wendy, one of the teenage girls that was interviewed by Mimi Nichter, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Arizona and author of Fat Talk: What Girls and Their Parents Say About Dieting (Harvard, 2000). In her study, Nichter found out that overweight girls are having a hard time accomplishing their desire to be thin when tempting “junk foods” are always made available. Furthermore, she wrote in her book that several girls would like to eat better foods at school but the healthier foods like salads were more expensive than the high-fat foods like pizza and French fries. Girls hoped that their school cafeteria would also serve affordable foods that are nutritious instead of those fatty meals that are served every day. Some kids also mentioned that most bad foods taste much better than good foods. This could be some of the reasons of the increasing number of obese kids every year.
Without doubt, today’s children live in an obese-friendly environment where a variety of high-fat foods are served anywhere they go. These kids deserve nutritious foods that are also affordable and tasty. This can only be possible if fresh healthy vending is within their reach. Lots of kids want to be healthy. They need the kind of foods that only fresh healthy vending provides.
School administrators, teachers and parents play an important role towards helping kids fight against obesity. It’s time that they should help promote healthy eating through fresh healthy vending.
