Editorial: Parents, Federal Programs Helped Cut Obesity Rates Among Low-Income Preschoolers
A Ventura County Star editorial states that a recent CDC report finding that obesity rates among low-income preschoolers declined in at least 19 U.S. states -- including California -- and territories between 2008 and 2011 is "good news for kids." The editorial credits parents and various federal initiatives for the decline, including first lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move!" anti-obesity campaign and the Woman, Infants and Children program.
