I know that my grandchildren are being raised by health-conscious parents and yes, I do take some credit for that because my kids were raised that way. I try to help by watching what the gkids eat when in my care and we do active things like hiking in the woods or swimming in the pond.
But man oh man it really is an epidemic of obesity.
How do you guys keep your kids or help keep your grandkids fit?

Conscious decision to not eat ready made, packaged, highly processed, and at chain restaurant. Also meal size is very important.
I think the issue is consumerism. We are fed advertising on delicious looking food with a mindset to eat 3 meals a day.
More consumption = higher profits.
