Childhood Obesity is skyrocketing! Children are becoming less active and the risk for disease is much higher!"THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZES OBESITY AS A DISEASE" Children are becoming more and more sedentary, it is NOT solely because of technology and video games. While new technology has affected the lack on physical activity in children, lack of knowledge is the main factor. Parents, teachers, people in the community are responsible for teaching their kids about being active. With everything going on around us from the TV, reduced recess time in school, school lunches lacking nutritional value and our own government teaching us the wrong things, we much show children from an early age to be active. Involvement in play time and recreational sports is so important for our children to be healthy. Our kids are suffering the consequences from not being active. why is this happening?! I has been studied, that parents these days have a harder time talking to their children about being over weight/obese, than talking about sex or drugs. THAT IS CRAZY TO THINK ABOUT! Children at very young ages are being diagnosed with diseases that used to only occur in adults (except those born with a disease). If only a child was more active, parents and children wouldn't have to deal with constant reminder of an insulin shot, or a catheter being changed out, or even rushing to the ER because of a heart attack........ Take a look at what ads & the Government are doing to not only children but all of us.... So schools are now strictly limiting the amount of time children are allowed to be active and exercising. Not only that, but they can not run. Take a look at the time that children in some school are out for recess.....10 minutes! The recommended amount that children should be physically active is 60 minutes a day, EVERY DAY! That means, 60 minutes a day of moderate to vigorous physical activity. Meaning, bone loading exercise to prevent osteoporosis. Strength exercises to help in development of motor skills, skeletal muscle, & prevent injury. Aerobic exercises to decrease risk of cardio vascular disease. ALL of these things the child will take with him/her into adulthood. Which leads to a better and healthier life.   ads that teach you the wrong things!
Notice how all the ads, slogans, etc. all have one things in common.... They target/affect your emotions. HAPPY meal, HAPPY recipes, open HAPPINESS, help yourself to HAPPINESS. They send out the wrong message on purpose, to get you to buy the product. "Happy Meal" parents tell little "Jimmy", "Ok now, behave and your get a happy meal!". Every time little Jimmy is misbehaving, he knows he can keep that up and his reward is going to he a happy meal.... Marketing success, and a parents way to calm their child. CRAZY!! How can we help our kids & community?! Be Active. Eat Smart. Its a simple "formula" and we need to start NOW. Kids need to be taught at an early age. Take them out to play, limit their time on video games, sign them up for a sport, take them to a gym that has classes for kids. Cook healthy homes meals. Ok ok, you're probably going to say, but Raul, I understand that childhood obesity is a problem. I don't have the money or the time to do all of this... I totally understand! Things need to change somewhere some how. Look at your schedule and see what things YOU, as a parent, can take out of your schedule and dedicate to prepping healthy meals for your child to take to school etc. Look at what things you are buying that are NOT necessary, and use that money to buy healthier food. YOU tell me, what matters most.. Watching your favorite show at night, drinking with friends, buying a new watch, purse, shoes, every week. OR, your child's/family's health?!.... Don't worry, I can wait....  I agree with you, healthy food can be more expensive than a run to McDonald's. BUT, not all healthy food is expensive. How much is a banana?... Like maybe .39 cents for 1 pound? How much is some chicken breasts (not fired, etc. I'm talking about your regular raw chicken breasts), maybe $5 dollars? And theres ofter sales. There IS a way to make this work. There's coupons people can use. Stores have a sale sections with healthy food options such as eggs, yogurt, snacks, etc. You just have to put in the effort and get your family's health in check. A child does not deserve to have to deal with diabetes at the age of 12 or be obese at 15. More info and helpful links/recipes/ideas for a healthier lifestyle

PREPARATION
Thanks to http://tastefullyjulie.com/spicy-baked-fries/ this recipe is one of my favorites!!! Recipe and pictures belong to TastefullyJulie.com
Instructions
If you want a bolder flavor you can double the chili powder. For more of a bite, try adding a pinch of cayenne powder. 
 C4 50X may be a bit too much for you if you're caffeine sensitive, if I had to pick an alternative C4 Extreme is a prefect choice. Still has stimulants and will help you through your workout, but not as powerful as C4 50X. I've been getting questions if both men and women can take any of the C4's (C4 Ripped, C4 Extreme, C4 50X, C4 Mass), YES! It is fine for both genders to take. If you have questions regarding about what supplements best fir your goals, feel free to send an email, I'd be glad to help! :) Team.RCFitness@yahoo.com (yes, don't forget the period between team & rcfitness lol)
