Beschreibung
The prevalence of childhood obesity is so high in the United States that it may reduce the life expectancy of today's generation of children. While parents and other adult caregivers play a fundamental role in teaching children about healthy behaviors, even the most positive efforts can be undermined by local environments that are poorly suited to supporting healthy behaviors. For example, many communities lack ready sources of healthy food choices, such as supermarkets and grocery stores. Or they may not provide safe places for children to walk or play. In such communities, even the most motivated child or adolescent may find it difficult to act in healthy ways. Local governmentswith jurisdiction over many aspects of land use, food marketing, community planning, transportation, health and nutrition programs, and other community issuesare ideally positioned to promote behaviors that will help children and adolescents reach and maintain healthy weights.Local Government Actions to Prevent Childhood Obesity presents a number of recommendations that touch on the vital role of government actions on all levelsfederal, state, and localin childhood obesity prevention. The book offers healthy eating and physical activity strategies for local governments to consider, making it an excellent resource for mayors, managers, commissioners, council members, county board members, and administrators.
