Childhood Obesity

Obesity is an epidemic but the biggest problems may be in our children. They eat too much fast food and soda: Who has time to prepare the fresh food nutritionists recommend? And, then they spend so much time at the computer or the Wii that they never get any exercise. We even drive them to school and drop them at the door. Two Las Vegas experts on the problem join us to offer some solutions.
