A servey in Australian higher secondary school reveals that obesity and over weight are 'chronic disease bomb' for children from 13 - 28 yrs of age. As obese kids enter adult hood with high BMI, WHR increases risk for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease. One in three students said drank 4 or more cups of sugary or sports drink per week and 43 % of them had fast food. Only 14 % kids reported to consume Recommended allowance for fruits and vegetables.

Healthy eating habits should be a compulsory part of the teachings in school.Children pick more from teachers and peers and will follow what is told in classrooms. We need to push schools to inculcate good nutrition habits in classrooms and cafterias.

Children learn quick and easy by watching...try to create curiosity in kids instead of forcing them to eat fruits etc.

Parents should not only tell their kids to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, they must actually eat healthy in front of them so they learn good nutritional habits from a young age.
