Report: One in five children will become obese
 

no one knows which programs really help kids slim down, said the institute said in calling for research to identify best methods.
Some 17 percent of U.S. youngsters already are obese, and millions more are overweight. Obesity can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, sleep problems and other disorders.

Wednesday's report on CNN shows "what the country is doing is like putting a Band-Aid on a brain tumor," said Margo Wootan of the consumer advocacy Center for Science in the Public Interest.

Sad thing is your own family members might be in this situation whats ya'll point of view on this matter.

i already posted sumthin like this not too long ago but its just stupid
we aint got enough ta feed the poor but have enough ta cause a health concern?
damn man we aint willing ta give up our shit so we could stuff our mouths
and die of a heart attack cuz we too lazy ta work out

well most likely thats 4 out of 5 that wont. atleast it aint 1 put of 3 or 1 out of 4. these parents and other people make it seem like its ok to be fat. im skinny. weighin 112 pounds at 5'4" and whenever i see a really fat 250 lb person my height or a little taller, i get disgusted. but it might not necessarily be their fault

but just cuz you skinny dont mean you healthy because i am out of shape like a mother fucker! i couldnt even go 10 minutes on a stress test, although my speed kept increasing, i felt like angie stone on celebrity fit club

I'ts becoming a major problem in the UK as well now,.. the kids are getting
fatter and fatter.

It's the parents, if you feed your kids right in the first place non of the shit
would happen.

tell us something we dont know....i mean its pretty much a fact since the beginning of time the hungryer they are the harder it is for them to crawl....

texas got some fat asses

you bet your sweet little ass....

lmao. I love it how they call it the "obesity crisis" and the "obesity epidemic" and say "OMG YOU COULD BE AT RISK!"

Obesity is a lifestyle disease... Its not contagious, its not sudden, its curable, it happens over a long period of time. Its called a brain. I think America really should look into using at least one.

"Duhh... Why are all de kids and grown ups fat?"

"*shrugs* ... Obesity epidemic?"

Stop eating bullshit food, go for a freakin' walk. Play sport, stay away from the McDonalds every night, dont spoil your kids by giving them what they want, help them by teaching them what food will make them healthy.

There is no such thing as the obesity epidemic. The problem America has is the laziness epidemic.

thats fucking werd!!!!!!!!!!lazy fucks

Ya, people are like 'I'll go work out tomorrow' when they know they won't. If you go for a week, you will get addicted. I know, I am obese and I hate it. I am doing what I can to change who I am, and so far it is working. I feel much better and healthier and if I don't work out, run, do something physically straining I don't feel right.

Whenever I start a family, as soon as they can walk, we are gonna do family walks, then those will become family runs, and then my kids are gonna work out with me. We will be healthy because I refuse to let them live the life I did.

Tell them to get the fuck up and exercise. Stop spoiling them if they're obese. At least 80% of those cases are probably avoidable.
