Childhood obesity is a fast-growing epidemic in the U.S. Obese children face a shorter lifespan due to weight-related illnesses such as increased risk of heart disease and diabetes. But hope has arrived for America's children. Shaquille O'Neal, a four-time NBA champion and a role model to millions, is on a quest to battle this scourge and help kids across America live more healthfully.

Alot of times the only direction they recieve is from our trainers. Childhood obesity is more of a parenting problem than a food problem. For many parents the TV and food are the most convient baby sitters to have. I hope this show will address this ever growing problem. I sincerly believe this falls under the catagory of child abuse. For a program to be effective, education for the WHOLE family is a must. Leading by example is the only way to solve this problem. Maybe this is why we (adults) hesitate to discuss this topic.
