The Fight of Our Kids’ Lives
This country has a big problem, and no one is paying attention to it.
Our kids are getting sicker and sicker.
The average life expectancy is falling, which means for the first time in modern history, our children won’t live as long as us.
Kids are getting diagnosed with diseases once reserved for their grandparents, like hypertension, diabetes and heart disease.
The culprit in all of this?
Obesity.
How We’re Helping
Big Kids Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting childhood obesity and ultimately saving kids’ lives.
We do not want this disease to define an entire generation, or those that follow.
We believe every child should have the opportunity to live a long, healthy life…and we work hard to provide families with the tools, knowledge and resources to do so.
“Obesity now contributes to the death of more than 360,000 Americans a year. The incidence of childhood obesity is now at epidemic levels. Alarm bells are going off all over the place. But our government has done virtually nothing.”
-Senator Tom Harkin
