My kids have tried veggies they have never eaten at home and I'm just starting to hear from a few of my parents that they are experimenting with more veggies at home and when they are eating out. That makes me so happy.
I also told the parents about this great farmers market-like storefront that only carries meat, dairy and produce from farms within 80 miles and 2 of them have visited and are now hooked on the dairy products. Makes me smile!!
That's SO awesome.
You should check out the CDC's projection for obesity rates for the kids born in 2000. Search their site.

Of the two main types of diabetes, type 2, formerly called adult-onset diabetes, affects 90 to 95 percent of diabetics and until recently most often appeared in people over 40 years old.
Now being diagnosed among pre-pubescent children and teens, type 2 is linked to obesity and physical inactivity.
