Book excerpt: The prevalence of childhood obesity has risen dramatically in the last several decades in the United States, and is currently considered to be epidemic. This book examines the many factors that play a role in this crisis including the effect of food and beverage prices on children's weights; how food away from home affects children's diet quality; the environments to which children are exposed in their daily lives (ie: schools, child care, communities) can influence the healthfulness of their diets; and the potential effects on taxing caloric sweetened beverages.
