Welcome

This Blog is for our Child Welfare class, which we are currently taking at Georgia State University. Melissa and I will be focusing on the issue of childhood obesity. This issue is extremely important to us and we feel it is growing into an epidemic  in the United States that must be dealt with now. We will focus on trends, practice, policy, diversity, research and global context related to childhood obesity. It is our mission to bring awareness to people regarding this particular child welfare issue.
