In "The Surgeon General's Vision for a Healthy and Fit Nation," a report issued January 28 from the office of the Surgeon General, Dr. Regina Benjamin, and highlighted by the sponsorship of First Lady Michelle Obama, we learn: "...Many people are not aware that rapid weight gain is one of the most common and alarming side effects of psychiatric medications for both children and adults. Youth aged 4 to 19 being treated with antipsychotic medications gained more than 7% of their total body weight in 12 weeks...The amount of time spent watching television is another association wih obesity in both children and adults." The report also has a section titled "Creating Healthy Child Care Settings," and gives a list of guidelines for both parents and providers in determining the "health rating" (our term) of a facility or program.

A special message from HSMC
As you know, three weeks ago, a devastating earthquake -- the first of many -- destroyed the capital city of Haiti, killed hundreds of thousands of people, injured twice as many more, and left millions homeless. In our contemporary society, the news moves on; in Haiti, the suffering continues and the work of reconstruction -- of spirits as well as governmental and infrastructure -- will take years. Hundreds of charities around the world are contributing time, money, people, and skills. If you are moved to contribute, the opportunities are boundless; here are three: Doctors without Borders, Yele Haiti,and Oxfam America.
