I agree that there are specific environmental aspects that play a large role in the exercise
& active nature of children today. Health is a large part of our children when developing strong
bones & functioning organs that rid our bodies of impurities, preventing potential diseases or life
crippling altercations. However, I do not agree that climate change is the one primary concerns
for childhood obesity, although this article has brought up many important factors that play a
