Last year around this same time the CDC reported health outcomes for the state of Georgia concerning child obesity in an editorial titled An Encouraging Trend on Child Obesity.

The editorial concluded saying..."The challenge continues for kids in school. In the SHAPE program's recent fitness assessment, only 16 percent of Georgia students passed all five fitness tests. Twenty percent were unable to pass any of the FitnessGram tests."

If these are the fitness outcomes for all of Georgia's youth then WE"VE GOT WORK TO DO!!!! AND A GENERATION TO SAVE. National reports predict the coming generation of youth will live shorter life spans then any generations before because of health disparities linked to child obesity and obesity in general.

The editorial goes on to say both Georgia State Health Commissioner Barbara Fitzgerald and state school Superintendent John Barge sent a letter urging Georgia's local school superintendents to consider adopting a daily 30-minute period of physical activity for elementary school students, to combat obesity.

Frankly, I find the above strategy empty and sad. It should be a legal mandate from Georgia's assembly or senate that every school pre-K through high school have 30 minutes of physical activity a day to teach our kids the importance of healthy lifestyle choices, both physical activity and nutrition, which all research points to as the key factors in CHILD and ADULT obesity!

The child obesity numbers keep getting better in Georgia. The CDC has reported that 19 states saw a decrease in obesity from 2008 to 2011 among low-income children ages 2 to 4 years. And the 1.6 percentage point decline in Georgia was bigger than anywhere else except for the U.S. Virgin Islands.
