Reversing the Childhood Obesity Epidemic by 2015: How to Do It?
Creating change is hard; creating change rapidly is much harder. But rapid change is needed so we do not lose a generation of children to chronic obesity. This interactive panel discussion features leaders who have bold visions and plans for making them real. Transportation For America is a coalition of organizations working to change the entire approach to transportation - quickly. Resources for the Future is working to ensure all communities have access to public open space. Following their presentations, the audience will be invited to offer ideas for reversing childhood obesity in the next 5 years. Researchers listen closely for innovative study topics.
