Why Childhood Obesity?• For our senior project, we decided to
research the dilemma of childhood obesity. As statistics show, obesity is a major increasing concern in the world affecting the lives of many, especially children.
• Being able to take time to teach elementary PE classes about making healthy choices and staying fit, helps impact a successful future.
