Hey @AmerAcadPeds, let's protect our kids' health! 🏥👶 Here's what needs to change to tackle childhood obesity and create healthier futures: 1️⃣ Mandatory Physical Education – While Canada requires daily PE, only 6 states in the US mandate it for all grades. Japan includes multiple exercise breaks throughout the school day. Meanwhile, 1 in 5 American kids are obese. Time for action! 🏃♀️🎾 2️⃣ Cut Ties with Industry Money – You're taking funds from the beverage lobby while staying silent on sugary drinks in schools. France banned sodas in schools entirely. Our kids deserve better than corporate influence! 🥤 3️⃣ Prevention Over Medication – Approving weight loss drugs like Ozempic for 12-year-olds while taking pharma money? Let's focus on prioritizing preventing obesity, not medicating it. You're not just doctors – you're meant to be our children's health advocates. It's time to stand up for what kids really need: daily movement, less sugar, and prevention-first policies. Ready to help make these changes? Let's work together! 🤝💪 As a registered dietitian and mom of 3, I'm passionate about creating real change for our kids' health with my program, Raising Balanced Eaters.
