Saline: Overweight Kids

CNN reports on the increase in child obesity, and on medical studies that show overweight children are more likely to have heart disease as adults. The article interviews Jenice Burgos of Saline, who describes her daughter’s efforts to lose weight through UM’s MPOWER program. Burgos gives advice to parents: “Don’t let food become a substitute for the love and time you should give [your children].” [Source]
