Public Health
In Maine (CDC):Obesity rates have risen 100% in 17 years (from 12% of Mainers in 1990 to 26% in 2006).59% of Maine residents overweight or obese. About 25% of Maine high school students are overweight.36% of Maine kindergartners have BMI in the 85th percentile.
Maine Child Health Survey (MCHS)Children entering kindergarten in 2003 Preliminary Data:
18% with BMIs 85-94% (“at risk for overweight”)15% with BMIs greater than 95% (“overweight”)33% have high BMIs!
Because of obesity and overweight, our youth may be the first generation in America to not live as long as their parents.

“Our future rests on our being able to take care of our kids, teach them how to take care of the land, how to nourish themselves, and how to gather at the table.
That is where our culture is passed on to the next generation.” -Alice Waters
