A recent study conducted by Rachel Kimbro of the University of Wisconsin shows that the percentage of overweight children ages 1 to 3 is rising. 32% of the white and black children studied were overweight or obese, in contract to 44% of Hispanic children.

There seems to be no relation between income status and weight gain; children in the lowest income group actually have the largest percentage weight gain.

The study was published on 12/28/06 on the American Journal of Public Health Website.

The Mayo Clinic website has an extensive report on Childhood Obesity. It recommends choosing fruits and vegetables rather than convenience foods which tend to be high in sugars and fats.

Snacks should be healthy ones. Sugary soft drinks should also be avoided - even those that appear to be healthy because of fruit juice content/ Such drinks tend to "spoil the appetite" for regular meals later on.

Limit or avoid white bread, pasta, and white rice. Sugary desserts and high-carb foods and snacks are NO-NOs. Avoid fried foods - baked or broiled are much better. Preparing proper meals for your child will help in parents' weight control, too!
