NEW YORK, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Atkins Nutritionals, Inc. (ANI) announced today its plans to develop and support a national childhood obesity initiative to combat what is arguably our nation's most critical public health problem. Nationwide, approximately 30% of children (ages 6-19) are overweight and 15 percent are obese. "If this problem is not addressed urgently by lawmakers, educators, parents and health professionals the current epidemic will result in a future generation of Americans who will for the first time in our history have a shorter life span than the previous generation," explained Dr. Stuart Trager, Chairman of the Atkins Physician Council.
