Childhood Obesity – Let's Talk Solutions

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 21, 2008 -- With continous headlines printed on the terrible effects of childhood obesity, the increasing rates of them across North America and the junk filled diets that are causing them why are we not hearing more about the solutions? With so many alternatives to sugar on the market today why are we still talking sugar?

There are many solutions to this vast problem and most of them are simple and can begin at home. Some also begin with you, the parent. You who buys the groceries, who turns on the tv and decides what the plans are for the weekend. You who can make alternative and healthier snacks at hands reach for your children so that they are not tempted to pull over the chair or stand on the counter to sneak into the cookie jar. Hiding your keys and remote for the weekend and go outside to play is such a great thing to do for your entire family so why aren't you doing it? And if you are, why are you not inviting your neighbours?

There are so many websites on the internet with ideas on how you can spend just 30 minutes of your day not only to increase your health and your childs but to rid the media once and for all of bold lettering exclaiming childhood obesity rates increasing. And, you can have fun doing it.

One such website is www.AdventuresOfSammy.com which is not only an interactive place for you to share your thoughts with what you're doing at home but it's also the site of a children's book series that will have your kids enjoying reading again. They can even sign up for the superhero's fan club and recieve their own emails with activities that will get them on their feet and asking for fruit instead of a chocolate bar.

Admittedly, the Adventures of Sammy is not the only solution and may not be the be all and end all of childhood obesity but it should certainly be making headlines more often than the problems are.

Visit www.AdventuresOfSammy.com today and share your opinion with its visitors and share its information with your family and beyond.

Get healthy and have fun doing it!
