Meeting the obesity challenge

A recent SecEd article offering resources to help tackle obesity and educate pupils about healthy diet and lifestyle choices inspired school practitioner Kelly Rose

I recently read an interesting article by Karen Sullivan, who discussed a topic extremely close to my heart (Obesity: Rising to the challenge, SecEd 420, July 2, 2015).
