Georgia SHAPE is a statewide initiative led by Governor Nathan Deal to address childhood obesity. It brings together government agencies, non-profits, universities, and businesses to promote healthy living. Multiple leaders developed a coordinated plan involving organizations like the Department of Education, Department of Agriculture, hospitals, and more. Data shows that 43% of Georgia children are overweight/obese, with only 16% passing basic fitness tests and 20% unable to pass any. The initiative promotes incorporating 30 minutes of physical activity into schools through before, during and after-school programs to enhance learning and fitness. Sope Creek Elementary is an example of a school that maintains its academic schedule while providing 20 minutes of morning exercise. The goal is for every school district

Editor's Notes
- Poor diet and lack of physical activity contribute to the rise in childhood obesity. Only 52% of middle school students and 43% of high school students in Georgia currently meet the CDC recommendations for physical activity. More than 44% of Georgia’s middle school students and 39% of high school students watch television for three or more hours on a school day and only 17% of high school students in Georgia consume five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day. In 2008, Georgians spent $2.4 billion on the direct medical costs of obesity and lost productivity from disease, disability and death. In Georgia, obesity- related hospitalizations of children aged 2 – 19 years increased 338% over the eleven year period from 1999 to 2010.
