My name is Lauren Fennell and I am working towards my Masters of Science in Health Studies with a focus in Community Health. This is my last and final class before I graduate! It seems like yesterday I was applying to TWU for graduate school and here I am with 3 hours remaining. I have a 4 month old daughter who is the apple of my eye and recently started sleeping through the night (for those of you who are parents, this is a HUGE deal). Now that I’m a mom, I hope to be the best parent I can possibly be to my little girl. I’m excited to experience the world through her eyes.
I've always had an interest in childhood obesity. When I was a kid I watched my cousins gain weight from eating too much fast food and the over consumption of sugary drinks. Luckily they were able to shed the weight from incorporating healthy eating habits and exercising. Today I see the same situation happening to my nephew and it is heartbreaking.
It is because of these experiences that my blog will focus on what is being done to prevent the childhood obesity epidemic and where we need to go from here. I will cover such topics as the recent controversial school lunch debate, how our eating habits have changed over the years, and how the food industry plays a major role in what we eat.
