Who is a Chubby Bunny? ... We in Alabama are Chubby Bunnies.

Alabama is in the top 5 of child obesity. That is probably because compared to other states, and the innovation they have, Alabama is a bit off the map. Obesity has many causes such as the unhealthy food in lunchrooms, and sometimes even the healthy food. Sometimes the lack of fatty foods can drive students to crave junk even more. The media plays a role in how teens view healthy things. There is very aggressive marketing of unhealthy food to children. Also, everyone is depending on the lunchroom to be the complete solution. One Alabama teacher suggests getting each grade level a personal nutritionist.
