According to a new report by a children's advocacy group,
Oregon children are growing more overweight by the year. Children
First for Oregon want state policymakers to pay closer attention
to childhood obesity which the organization calls a very serious
public health issue.
Cathy Kaufmann, research and policy associate with Children
First, said overweight children are at risk of developing
medical conditions including Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure
and heart disease, the ailments that follow them into adulthood.
The cost of conditions related to adult obesity in Oregon
was $781 million in 2003, she said, citing a 2004 study in
the journal Obesity Research.

lifestyle, exercise and by usage of diet pills. Phentermine
Diet Pills are an easy and effective means of weight loss
which are used by millions of people worldwide.
