Look's like I'm having humble pie for dinner tonight ... hopefully Swanson's. Our poll used a unique design to get at what is actually happening in the life of a "target child" in each household. We supplemented their responses with more than 800 that came in when we asked parents, through NPR's Facebook page, to describe their own "crunch times." The most striking finding is that U.S. parents "get it." When we asked a parent or other principal caregiver in our poll how important it is that their child eats and exercises in a way to maintain a healthy weight, more than 9 in 10 said it was important — and most said it was "very important." But all too often, there's a disconnect. Despite good intentions, it's not happening.
