Many States Show Declines /Muchos estados muestran disminuciones

 Obese children are more likely to become obese adults and suffer lifelong physical and mental health problems. Obesity rates in low-income preschoolers, after decades of rising, began to level off from 2003 through 2008 and now are showing small declines in many states. However, too many preschoolers are obese. State and local officials can play a big part in reducing obesity among preschoolers.

 obesos y de tener problemas de salud física y mental de por vida. Las tasas de obesidad en niños en edad prescolar de bajos ingresos, tras décadas de aumentos, comenzaron a estabilizarse desde el 2003 hasta el 2008 y ahora están mostrando pequeñas disminuciones en muchos estados. Sin embargo, demasiados niños en edad prescolar son obesos. Los funcionarios estatales y locales pueden desempeñar un rol importante en la reducción de la obesidad entre los niños en edad prescolar.

California’s Central Valley, working in the fields, although physically
demanding, can be a gratifying experience for many of them.
