Solution to Fighting Obesity in American Children

    ATLANTA, GA, October 09, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The statistics are alarming but the fact remains that 1 in 3 children are obese or over weight in America. According to the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, this statistic is contributing to childhood diabetes, asthma and heart failure. Experts attribute to this to a multitude of modern day lifestyles due to TV and Media, Fast and Frozen Foods, Limited Access to Healthy Product, Lack of Daily Activity, Addiction to Internet and Video Games, and more.

The statistics motivated two visionaries, Ed and Ann-Marie Stephens, in creating visual learning tools to simplify a child's sized food portions -- it's logical and gets us back to basics, say these two entrepreneurs. By working with dietitians and nutritionists, to design a concept that was visual, easy to follow, and would encourage professionals to adopt the nutritional system and teach children, parents, and teachers to understand the basics of precise portions to a healthier lifestyle--this is Precise Portions, Show N' Tell Nutrition Learning System for Kids.

The wonderful collection of kid's dinnerware set, cups, plates and bowls along with flashcards and a placemat wheel, in both English and Spanish, are designed in fun, colorful, and exciting images to entertain and inform children and parents. It was important for the Stephens' to create the product in two languages, "The obesity statistics are alarming when it comes to Hispanics and African-Americans and it starts with children, so our commitment to changing this growing epidemic is our primary goals. And we do this by engaging retailers, merchants, practitioners, school nutritionists, teachers, parents, and anyone who cares about the future of our children," says Ann-Marie Stephens.

The full line of Precise Portions can be seen at two trade shows on October 19, 20, 21, FNCE, Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo, Atlanta, GA and October 20, 21 at the Virginia WIC Annual Conference at the Wyndham, Glen Allen, Virginia. Information can be found at PrecisePortions.com.

In a time when 'Supersize' has become the normal size, we have lost the ability to judge what a right-sized portion actually looks like. On top of that, with obesity on the rise, people are turning to restrictive fad diets and possibly dangerous pills to try to shed pounds. This is why we created the Precise Portions Nutrition Control System.

We set out to design portion control dishes which would let you and your whole family start eating well right away - and that means eating the right foods in the right proportion. After all, eating right and weight loss are not things that are achieved overnight. They take time and consistency, but that doesn't mean they have to be complicated.

Precise Portions dishware has all the hard work designed right in, so all you have to do is follow the lines on each plate, bowl and glass. Portion control dishes can also be stylish. Our attractive vine and leaf design helps you to portion the right amounts without alerting anyone else that you are doing so. So you can use Precise Portions dishware for any occasion.

Our ultimate goal is to help people eat healthier meals and live healthier lives. By helping people with weight loss and eating right, we're on our way to achieving that.
