Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
With children back in school and family activities now in overdrive-- do you know what your kids are eating during the day? and, is it healthy?
Childhood Obesity has reached epidemic proportions.
20 years ago, 5% of American children were overweight.
Today 15% of kids between 6 and 19 are overweight --and another 15% are headed that way.
Schools -- have become nutritional disaster areas.
The state's Healthy Schools Coalition is fighting back -- launching programs to improve diet and exercise among all students.
We traveled to Rochester recently to find out about a new pilot program aimed at cutting the number of super-sized kids.

Junk Food isn't the only culprit. Lack of excercise is also a contributing factor in the Childhood Obesity epidemic.
In 1969, 80-percent of kids played sports every day -- today, only 20% do.
Should getting kids MOVING. be part of a school's educational mission? Here to talk about that are:
Doctor Charles Cappetta, a pediatrician at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinic in Nashau,
Louise McCormack, a Professor of Physical Education at Plymouth State University, and Rae Pica, author of "Your Active Child."
