  Memorial University researchers link income, exercise and breakfast to childhood obesity Researchers at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) have linked poverty and neighborhood or built environment to childhood obesity, but have gone further and noted that, for Grade 7 students, the amount of active exercise, reduction in screen time (computer, television), and eating breakfast combined to improve weight results. They also clarified their results around the built environment by noting that improved sidewalks to adult destinations such as the post office or grocery store should not be generalized to children, and that city and school planners should bear in mind the ‘playability’ of built environment improvements.
