Pre-Teen Osteoporosis

What is happening to our children? We see it all around us. Childhood obesity exploding to a point where nearly 1 in 3 children are overweight or obese by the age of 6. 1 in 4 teenagers are obese. Adult diseases like diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and probably very soon, osteoporosis, are skyrocketing. When will the degeneration reach a point where people return at last to a focus on nutrient dense, traditional foods for maintaining health, not just cutting calories and exercising, which have limited and short lived health benefits? How many more adult diseases must our children suffer before people stop spending 90% of every dollar on processed foods and, instead, shift to spending 90% on whole foods? Is the convenience of the fast food drive thru worth a Dowager’s hump in your child? Clearly not.

I sincerely hope that is the last Dowager’s hump I see on a child. Unfortunately, odds are that I will see a lot more before a majority of parents, and not just the select few, wise up.
