Childhood Obesity Prevention- Shawn Johnson
About 9 million children over the age of 6 are considered overweight in this country. The American obesity epidemic has been passed to our youngest generation. Overweight children are at far greater risk of developing some chronic diseases, including Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In addition to putting their health at risk, overweight children are often subjected to exclusion by their peers, which can affect their emotional well-being. Teaching kids the importance of eating …

whoa ok there you need to calm down. you need to come back to reality and remember that shawn johnson is really that great, she’s ok but not great. also shawn is a boys name so she’s stupid
July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
To a girl, either she’s obese or she’s pregnant.
July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
She’s become a tool for advertisement.
July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
olololololo its the girl from the ” i love the taco sauce it makes my taco pop!”
July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Well she was on dancing with the stars (which she won) so I’m assuming she has time :/
July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Wasn’t she on an advert with some other Olympians for some microwavable taco product…?
July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
LOL

I KNOW! I hate people who say that. They are so arrogant. She has just matured. She looks more feminine now, and I LOVE it. Shawn is amazing, and she is ALL muscle. You can tell by just looking at her legs. It is great all that she does. And she also goes to a public school in her home town of West De Moines, Iowa. If she did anymore on top of being smart athletic, and be cute/pretty/beautiful/hot, she would seriously be PERFECT. She already is a one in 1 Billion at least child. Love you Shawn!

Hah it must have been so strange talking to herself when shooting it before they put the animated vegs on
BTW she’s NOT fat.. ever heard of a fat gymnast? Maybe muscular, bot can’t be fat.. 
July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Easy for a not-fat good-looking Olympic-class gymnast to say, her target audience is the exact opposite. I agree with the ad, though I disagree with using Veggie Tales due to it being a considerably religious show, but also, some people are never going to be really skinny or really muscular due to their body-type and genetics, so they’ll be discouraged when they’re still not as good-looking and might have body-image problems, which is also a serious problem for girls.

How fat are American teenagers that we need a teen athlete to tell them the importance of staying in shape? Oh and LYING is not good either.
“What do you do to stay in shape Shawn?”
Does she REALLY need to say “dancing” instead of saying “Training like an animal, dieting seriously and getting a good night’s rest” I doubt she has enough time to dance unless she’s doing it during her workouts. If she’s being lazy, she’ll loose the next olympics
July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
It falls on deaf ears for us Americans
July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Fat my ass, She is pure muscle from years of training! Lost a little bit of her muscle tone from lack of the elite training she was doing for so many years but still none the less she has a perfect and fit body! Gaining weight and being fat are far from each other.
July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Thats pretty funny
July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
“you dont have to be an olympian to be a player”
Playa!
July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm

July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Poor Fat Kids!
They got this girl thats extremly fit telling them that its bad to be fat!!
July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
She put on a TON of weight after the 08 Olympics. Like she’s in no way obese or even overweight, she’s just put on a lot of weight super fast after the Olympics…
July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm

July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm

July 25th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
