1.This Act may be cited as the
Childhood Obesity Reduction
Act
.
2.Congress makes the following
findings:
(1)According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, obesity may soon overtake tobacco as the leading
preventable cause of death.
(2)In 1999, 13 percent of children aged 6 to
11 years and 14 percent of adolescents aged 12 to 19 years in the United States
were overweight. This prevalence has nearly tripled for adolescents in the past
2 decades.
(3)Risk factors for heart disease, such as
high cholesterol and high blood pressure, occur with increased frequency in
overweight children and adolescents compared to children with a healthy
weight.
(4)Type 2 diabetes, previously considered an
adult disease, has increased dramatically in children and adolescents.
Overweight and obesity are closely linked to type 2 diabetes.
(5)Obesity in children and adolescents is
generally caused by a lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating patterns, or
a combination of the 2, with genetics and lifestyle both playing important
roles in determining a child’s weight.
(6)Overweight adolescents have a 70 percent
chance of becoming overweight or obese adults.
(7)The 2001 report The Surgeon
General’s Call to Action to Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity
suggested that obesity and its complications were already costing the United
States $117,000,000,000 annually.
(8)Substantial evidence shows that public
health risks can be reduced through increased public awareness and community
involvement.
(9)Congress needs to challenge students,
teachers, school administrators, and local communities to voluntarily
participate in the development and implementation of activities to successfully
reduce and prevent childhood obesity.
