Are american children eating too much?

Do you think children are overeating?  Where do eating habits come from? 

Kids learn a lot by example. If they see mom and dad making good food choices, then they are more likely to make those same choices. I love sweets, but it's all about moderation. It has come down to talking to my children about food, nutrition, and a healthy lifestyle. Hopefully giving them a good foundation will lead to them making healthy choices when I am not around!  What are you doing to improve your kids eating habits?
