* Scary Stat: Indiana High School kids (all) in 2005: 45% did not meet the criteria for physical activity (20 minutes 3 times per week)
* Another Scary Stat: In 2002, ½ of all foods consumed by 12 to 19 year olds was soda.
* Yet Another Scary Stat: Over 90% of new food products for kids have sugar as the #1 ingredient.
* A Final Scary Stat: According to the 2003 Journal of Pediatrics, in 2003, kids under 12 ate an average of less than two servings of fruits or veggies per day. Kids over twelve ate an average of 3.5 servings per day. BUT, one of those servings (in both categories) was French fries.
