Children snack so often that they are "moving toward constant eating," Carmen Piernas and Barry Popkin of the University of North Carolina reported.
More than 27 percent of calories that American kids take in come from snacks,Piernas and Popkin reported in the journal Health Affairs.The researchers defined snacks as food eaten outside regular meals.
Piernas and Popkin looked at data on 31,337 children aged 2 to 18 from four different federal surveys on food and eating.
"Childhood snacking trends are moving toward three snacks per day,and more than 27 percent of children's daily calories are coming from snacks.The largest increases have been in salty snacks and candy.Desserts and sweetened beverages remain the major sources of calories from snacks," they wrote.
Children increased their caloric intake by 113 calories per day from 1977 to 2006
The percentage of children who are overweight stayed at around 15 percent,they found.Parents,educators and policymakers all hold responsibility for this
Other studies have shown that obese children are more likely to stay obese as adults,and they develop chronic conditions at younger ages,burdening the healthcare system.
The administration has launched an initiative to tackle the issue by improving nutritional standards,getting food companies to voluntarily improve nutrition standards,help kids exercise more and educating parents.
