My group has actually looked into and started a blog on the same bill. We think it is important to encourage 60 minutes of physical activity/day to school-aged children to help fight childhood obesity. I love how the NFL has promoted the importance of this physical activity! I think it's important for us as nurses to educate people on the impact of obesity in the united states and ways to prevent it. However, it is not only a job to be taken on by the health care providers. I think the parents, school systems and community as a whole should be aware & help fight against this epidemic.
