In 2000, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) identified overweight and obesity as a leading health indicator and called for a reduction in the proportion of children and adolescents who are overweight or obese to 15% by 2010 (DHHS 2001). Unfortunately, little progress has been made towards this goal and the 2007 – 08 data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) indicate that approximately 32% of children and adolescents, ages 2 – 19, are overweight or obese.1
