Childhood obesity rates in America have tripled since 1980. Today, 16 percent of children between the ages of 6 and 19 are overweight or obese. In addition to those 9 million children who are already in trouble, an additional 15 percent of American kids are classified as “at risk of becoming overweight or obese.”

We’re not just talking baby fat here—70 percent of overweight adolescents end up overweight or obese in adulthood.
