Creating Jobs While Fightng Obesity

CNN published an article today talking about a couple that created a line of kids gym equipment to help fight obesity and make some extra cash in the process. It started as a way for Ernest Ebio and his wife, both fitness enthusiasts, to include their daughter in their workout adventures but turned into an entrepenurial opportunity. "Ebio partnered with his brother David Catanghal to launch WOD Toys, which produces kid-sized barbells, medicine balls, and even kettlebells for infants and toddlers," says the article. People who start their own businesses are helping decide their fate during these hard economic times and we need more people like this who are not only starting businesses and making money but doing it for a greater good as well, like obesity. Ebio says, ""As she grows up, we hope she associates exercising with something fun and positive and develops a love for fitness."
