Alarming Rise in Childhood Obesity

We’re not waiting five, 10, 20 years to take the action we want to see. We’re not the future of the world, we’re the present, we’re acting now.

"Blame it on urban lifestyle, intake of junk food and lack of physical activities, obesity in children is increasing with each passing day." So begins a July, 2017 Times of India article.

"Quoting a report of the World Health Organisation (WHO), experts said childhood obesity is one of the most serious health challenges facing the world today. According to WHO, [the] number of overweight children in 2015 under the age of five was estimated to be over 42 million and half of these children were from Asia."
