Edlund: Everyone Is Responsible For Childhood Obesity

Dr. Matthew Edlund, also known as "The Rest Doctor", discusses childhood obesity and how this problem can be solved. He believes that parents aren't the only ones to blame, but the schools as well. According to Dr. Edlund, one of the causes of adolescent obesity is sleep and rest deprivation. He also thinks that getting childhood obesity under control will benefit society at large. He states, "Healthy lifestyles lead to smarter kids, with better memories and more creativity, who need not face an adult life of diabetes and obesity."
