September is Childhood Obesity Awareness Month.   According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 12.5 Million of our American Youth are obese!  With that alarming statistic running through your mind, now is the perfect time to sign up for the Fuel Up to Play 60 movement that encourages healthy lifestyle choices such as consuming nutrient-rich foods and participanting in 60 minutes of physical activity every day.  Fuel Up to Play 60 is another great tool to combat the growing problem of Childhood Obesity in the US and the resources can be utilized by parents, teachers, businesses and even students.  Feel free to comment below if you are interested in more information.  If you are an educator or a parent involved in school, check out the Back to School Challenge!  All submissions are due by October 10th.
