PEDIATRIC OBESITY

• Diet soda is not healthy
• More kids than ever are obese
• Many kids drink diet drinks thinking the fact that they are low- or no-cal makes them okay
• Kids who drink diet sodas still consume ~150-200 more calories a day
• These calories are also unhealthy food and drink
• Vinnie began to gain some weight when he stopped playing football
• Calories is just a measurement, you don’t eat A calorie
  • What matters is WHAT you eat
    • Eating real food will lower obesity rates!
