Childhood obesity is an epidemic and comes from BAD eating habits and SURELY does not wait till adulthood to catch up with people. It is not a strange comment, it's a reality and again I guess you don't get out much and who in the hell is talking about leukemia. I am talking about overweight kids and there are MANY and last time I checked being obese is NOT healthy under any circumstances.
How old are you? just wondering. Childhood obesity was not that big of a problem in the past, but it sure has become one, again from bad food, bad eating habits and lack of exercise. Bad parenting is usually to blame and in those cases, the chances are high the parents are fat too.
If anything, your comments are getting stranger. Leukemia? really?
From the CDC, 1 in 5 are obese, that's 20%. It's not as bad as adults but it's not incidental as you describe it.
Fat doesn't mean unhealthy. It increases the likelihood of a great number of things that do, dyslipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, many forms of cancer including blood cancers. The more fatter the more those risks are elevated, even obese children however are usually healthy. Those things almost never occur before at least the 20s and generally much later. Fat kid with heart problem, the fat is incidental. Fat kids don't have heart problems because they're fat.
This information is potentially skewered and entirely incidental. Children with ready access to food likely also have access to a better quality of life than those who suffer from food insecurity. They would be more likely to come from a home where education is promoted and supported, have access to proper healthcare and the luxury of a safe place to sleep.
You could also make the argument that children who wear shoes without holes in the sole do better in school than those with holes, and that would also be proven.
Exactly. The kids who go to school without breakfast often didn't get dinner the night before, either. Their daily food is often just the school lunch each day. There's an organization here that serves lunches in parks each day all summer because they know without school lunch there are too many kids who get very little food when school isn't in session.
