How would you go about solving the growing the obesity epidemic in children?

Educate the parents, so they can teach the children. Get back to feeding them healthy meals and not fast-food and junk food because it's convenient and easy...and get them back outside active and playing, not sitting inside pounding on the computer keyboard or game system.

Kids now are more sedentary than ever before, and have the worst (most unhealthy and calorie filled) daily diets. The earlier they start having weight problems, the more difficult it'll be for them to change those habits as they get older.

It is not just the children, it is also their parents. They serve the wrong choices for meals, but maybe it is what they can afford. They use TV and Video games as a way to occupy their children. The school lunches are horrible.
We need to educate both parent and child about healthy food choices(low cost for parents) and about exercise.

Education!
Teaching them or the parents for that matter how to eat and drink healthy.
And also let them know that playing around and exercising and running and all that stuff is far better than sitting at computer or playing vid games!
