Santa-belly jokes aside, childhood obesity is an escalating problem in the U.S. With the passage of this law, it is also an opportune time to showcase a few online tools, techniques, and communications strategies that some pretty cool nonprofits (some of them our clients) are using to amplify the voice of the healthy kids movement.

She was an example for me throughout my childhood, bringing me along as she volunteered at soup kitchens, with the LDS cannery, and in the Scouts. I agreed with him and thanked him, with a hoarse voice, a handshake and a nod. Her service didn’t end with the Army. I give my mother all the credit.

Instead, I'm interested in the why.

We're tired of hearing people overcoming their horrible childhood, because it's too much. It would be nice to have someone have a wonderful, happy childhood. You have to think of something new and different and use an "up" voice to talk about it. We've heard it too much. We're hardened now.

girls have even lent their voices to this powerful movement. This is a horrifying statistic and furthers the need for girls' voices and their perspectives to be represented in the #MeToo movement.
