Cities a Test Kitchen for Fighting Childhood Obesity

An initiative to fight childhood obesity is now underway in five New Jersey cities -- Newark, New Brunswick, Camden, Vineland and Trenton -- where parks and gardens are blooming to battle the epidemic’s alarming consequences of children who struggle to climb stairs or who suffer from preventable diseases like diabetes and hypertension… It’s all part of the work by the New Jersey Partnership for Healthy Kids, with seed money from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, to bring scores of stakeholders in the cities together to advocate for policies and environmental changes to increase access to physical exercise and healthy foods.
