Childhood Obesity
Childhood obesity is a serious public health problem globally. The prevalence of obesity among youth has been increasing steadily. Children who are overweight or obese are likely to stay obese into adulthood and are at risk to develop obesity related serious health problems including early puberty, insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, fatty liver disease, high cholesterol and orthopedic issues. These complications may lead early death. Also youth with overweight or obesity are at risk to develop psychological diseases such as depression, poor body image, eating disorder, and behavioral and learning disorders.

Wilson: Child Obesity
This document discusses childhood obesity, its causes, and potential solutions. It notes that childhood obesity can lead to long-term health issues. While genes may play a small role, the main causes are environmental factors like parenting, food marketing, and lack of physical activity. The document recommends intervention programs, limiting junk food and screen time at home, and increasing exercise as ways to help address the problem.
Causes Of Obesity In Children
Obesity in children is on the rise and is caused by multiple factors including unhealthy eating habits, lack of physical activity, and genetic predispositions. Children who consume lots of fast food and junk food high in sugars and fats are at risk, as are those with family histories of obesity. A sedentary lifestyle focused on video games and technology rather than exercise also contributes to weight gain. Obesity can lead to serious health issues for children like diabetes, heart disease, and breathing problems. Parents are encouraged to help kids develop healthy diets and be more physically active through activities the whole family can enjoy.

Obesity and overweight
This document discusses obesity and overweight trends in America. It notes that a high percentage of American children and adults are overweight or obese, which can increase risks of health issues like diabetes and heart disease. Unhealthy eating habits like consuming sugary and processed foods, in combination with lack of physical activity like playing video games instead of being active, are major contributing factors.

Super Size Final Draft
The document discusses the issue of obesity in America that has reached epidemic proportions due to fast food consumption. It notes that 60% of Americans are obese and eat fast food for 40% of their meals. The fast food industry encourages overconsumption through large portion sizes and marketing to children. The extent of the problem is that childhood obesity has doubled in the last 20-25 years, putting more kids at risk for health issues. Solutions proposed include the fast food industry offering healthier options and smaller portions, more nutritional school lunches, and individuals taking responsibility for their own food choices.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
