Welcome back to the Lake Health and Wellbeing podcast. In today’s episode our volunteers from the St Kitts Department of Youth Empowerment’s Volunteer Corp are back with the second episode in their childhood obesity series.

In today’s episode Marecia, Eurecia, Jorecia, Chris and Vikell have an interesting and lively discussion on the causes of childhood obesity. In this episode they cover:

• The sale of unhealthy food near schools
• Why teachers might not step in and encourage healthy behaviours in children
• Cultural beliefs about weight
• Inactivity and some of the reasons why today’s children aren’t as active as the generations before them
• And much, much more!
