1 in 6 children are obese
1 in 3 children are overweight
These numbers are four times higher than they were 40 years ago.
Easter baskets were always filled to the brim with candy – jelly beans, chocolate bunnies, cream filled eggs and peeps.
Some parents figured this holiday should be candyless – for the health of their children. They stuffed baskets with bottles of bubbles, sidewalk chalk, crayons, small books, jump ropes, plastic eggs filled with coins, movies, and with healthy snacks like – raisins, granola bars, fresh fruit, and lovely hand died eggs.
Parents know about candy and chocolate in moderation for themselves – why not for their children. Help them make some healthy memories.
