JON HILL PRESIDENT OF MONTEREY PENINSULA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES TIFFANY TOVAR CAL STATE UNIVERSITY MONTEREY BAY Obesity in the United States: The Relationship between Low- Income and Childhood Obesity

Rhetorical Timing Childhood obesity in the United States has nearly tripled in the past thirty years (Child Defense Club, 2012). Children living in low-income neighborhoods were nine times as likely to be overweight as those living in well-off neighborhoods (Child Defense Club, 2012).

Awareness

Factors of Childhood Obesity Lack of physical activity. (U.S Department of Health and Human Services) Schools are eliminating physical education classes and sports.

Lack of Poor Nutrition Oliver (2013) stated children are eligible for free meals if they come from families with incomes at or below 130% of the poverty level. Some schools provide unhealthy food to their students.

Lack of Education Low-income families have barriers when it comes to access to resources and programs about obesity. Parents are not educated on what a healthy lifestyle is. Low-income parents may lack the time and resources necessary to purchase and prepare healthy foods.

Effects Immediate Effects- cardiovascular disease, bone and joint problems, and high blood pressure (Obesity Society, 2001) Long Term Effects- type 2 diabetes, cancer, and heart disease( Obesity Society, 2001) Greater chance of being bullied (Obesity Society, 2001) Emotional and physiological problems- depression, eating disorders, and negative body image. (Obesity Society, 2001)

Nutrition Policies “We teach students good nutrition and then sell them junk food--what a double message!" (Martin, Sara, and Judy Stewart, 2013)

Physical Education Classes and Sports Schools should emphasize physical education classes and sports to all students to provide a healthy lifestyle.

Resources and Programs Educate parents on how to eliminate unhealthy food Prepare more home cooked meals How to encourage physical activity Monitor television time
