Thank you for this reminder of how important it is that we set an example for our children. Children model their parents, and in the U.S. we are setting a poor example. Currently 78.2 percent of men aged 40 to 59 are overweight or obese. What can we expect from our children.

It is thought that their life expectancy will be shorter than ours due to obesity. Time to shape up!
