8-19-13 obesity-preschoolers

The Fond du Lac County Public Health Officer says a new report on childhood obesity indicates that something needs to change.  The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says Wisconsin
is among 20 states that have held steady in the prevalence of obesity among preschool children whose families were enrolled in the federal Women, Infants and Children program.  Public Health Officer Kim Mueller says she wonders what the parents are feeding themselves?  Mueller says another question would be where are these families getting their food?  Nationwide 1 in 8 preschoolers from low income families is obese.  In Wisconsin 31 percent  of preschool children participating in the WIC program are considered overweight or obese.
