Obesity is huge in children in this day!! But it's so preventable and even changeable! If your child is obese then you can do something about it and change their lives!! Children nowadays, I've noticed, eat way too much junk! Candy, sodas, fast foods! I know you've heard this before but these things are nothing but bad sugars and fats!! I know it's hard for parents to sy no to their children when they cry and whine for these things but it's going to be way harder keeping track of their bloodsugar levels when they get diabetes! More and more children are getting diabetes and this disease is uncurable!! A lot of children today also don't eat any real fruits and vegetables, meaning fresh fruits and fresch veggies! I'm not talking about french fries and fruit at the bottom of yogurts! Those are just corn syrups and sugars mixed with a little bit of fruit! Our children NEED to start eating more healthy, more fresh and more real foods! Don't let your child become obese!

I agree with what you are saying here but obesity is not only caused by the food eaten.....it is also juat plain laziness.....my kids love their junk food,fruit and veggies.....but they are active,they are up and out of the house by 11 am and sometimes I have to hunt them down for supper at 6 pm.....than there are also medical reasons....over active hormaones can cause some major obesity problems but I do understand what you are saying,parents who CAN control need to control it NOW!

Yes, I know that food isn't the only cause of obesity and it's caused by many other factors but those other factors weren't what I was talking about. I was talking about food as a factor of obesity.
