To mark the conclusion of Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, Herbalife
(NYSE:HLF) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael O. Johnson
released the following statement:
“While Childhood Obesity Awareness Month is coming to a close, our
commitment to the cause of healthy, active lifestyles endures. Childhood
obesity rates in this country are alarmingly high. According
to the CDC, childhood obesity has more than doubled in the past 30
years.
“Therefore everyone must remain aware and passions must not be limited
to a mere four weeks of the calendar. The cause is too important; the
need too pressing. Reducing rates of childhood obesity is a challenge
that requires all hands on deck. Our government, the private sector,
non-profit organizations and all Americans must take action to reverse
this trend.
“Herbalife is proud to help American families live healthier lives
through balanced nutrition. We look forward to working year-round with
our partners, customers and members to promote healthier, more active
lifestyles for all Americans.”
