Healthy kids make happier kids. That's what Jump In For Healthy Kids is all about. Bob Dittman talked with CEO, Julie burns of Jump In, about the child obesity problem in central Indiana, which is a larger issue as compared to most of the country. Jump In advocates for better nutrition and physical activity in schools and homes, and works with school administrators, parents, communities and daycare centers on how to implement best practices. They also work in the community for parents and caregivers to have access to healthier foods, hoping to eliminate "food deserts" in central Indiana. Julie says the issue of unhealthy weight in children can be resolved, but it will take time to change the minds of parents, schools, day care centers and government officials about child obesity, adding we must continue to educate to turn the tide.
