Childhood obesity is a growing problem in America. "the percentage of obese children doubling from 6.5% in 1980, to 17.0% in 2006. Weight, nutrition, and physical activity are the main components to a child’s overall health.”(1) “When parents become too busy to cook meals in their homes, children learn poor eating habits and develop into unhealthy eaters.”(1) They will take what they learned at home and apply it to anywhere else that they eat. For example a child that drinks milk at dinner and sits with their family at dinner when asked what they want to drink when they are at a friend’s home will ask for milk because the child would associate milk with dinner.

The goal of any educational institution should be to have postive impacts on the whole child. Nutrition is one aspect of the whole child that schools could improve upon. For a variety of reasons, there is a disconnect between the educators of a school building and those responsible for student’s nutrition. At school, students have a unqiue opportunity to make decisions about their nutrition, with the assistance of their parent in some cases. The following literature review investigates the National School Lunch Program in its effects on childhood obesity. The workshop to follow offers a plan to help impact childhood obesity through family education.

Educational materials should also not only be limited to in school and after-school programs, but also be implemented at home. Parents want the support at home from schools and communities, and assist them in providing better healthy lifestyles for their children in their home

The health and well-being of our nation's children is of paramount importance to the future of the United States as well as the individual futures of our nation's children. As such, one of the most important measures that we as a country can utilize to aid these children in their journey into adulthood is to provide them with nutritiously beneficial meals within the nation's schools to help these children fully immerse themselves in their education as well as in their own personal growth and happiness. Recent changes to the nation's breakfast and lunch programs are providing children with meals that are nutritionally sound in order to better serve the overall population and most importantly, the children in this country that are not afforded such nutrition in their home lives, and as such, these food programs are an essential part of the fostering of American children's health and well-being.
