Economic Insecurity and Childhood Obesity

- Ella Efeturk '25

I am passionate about how obesity contributes to health issues and how children in poverty often are a part of families that cannot afford healthy food. Obesity has been on the rise in America especially in children and can severely affect their mental development, and physical and emotional health. I believe that all families and children deserve access to healthy food and balanced meals regardless of their economic status.  Click to view Ella's website.
