Malnutrition Diet
-Increased intake of foods high in fat and sugars but are
low in minerals and other healthy
nutrients
-More Convenient
Limited Exercise
Why play outside when you can have your
character play for you?
Estimated 7 hours a day spent just watching
television
Socioeconomic Status
It is cheaper to buy nutrient
deficient foods as opposed to
healthier, nutrient rich
foods
So what can we do to help?
