ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this research is to prove that raising awareness of obesity in children can be beneficial to them in the long run. Children need to learn healthy eating habits as well as take part in physical activity. Schools and parents play a major role in influencing and guiding their children's nutritional habits. I conducted research on this topic by handing out an anonymous categorical survey to students and athletes. This survey asked questions pertaining to person's nutritional habits as a child; relating to how active they were as a child, and what types of healthy foods they ate. Also, how involved their parents and schools were in promoting good health.
