Just a little something I learned at a class the other day...

I'm a licensed day-care provider so I have to take a certain amount of classes to keep my license current- Anyway, I took a class on nutrition and health the other day and the teacher told me something that was really shocking:

Apparently there have been studies done that show that todays generation of children is the 1st that will not out-live their parents...This is due to the amount of fast food, junk food, lack of activity and the illnesses that are showing up in todays youth that were never faced before ...Now, I meant to ask if she meant that "age wise" they will not out-live us (like if avg. life expectancy of our generation is 80 lets say, theres will only be 75 etc..) or if she meant the "we" will outlive our own children (which is a horrifying thought) I'm assuming its the life expectancy thing...Really scared me !

She also said that one glass of soda a day for a year will put 10lbs on you- YIKES !!!!
Just thought I'd share that - yet another mommy worry !
