Enter GLP-1. Once these kids hit adulthood- and most of them have since the charts are seven years old - they will not be obese.

In addition to what everyone else has said the rise of athleisure and stretchy clothes hasn’t helped either. It’s very possible to gain 10-15 lbs and still fit into the majority of your clothes. Unlike in the 80s when I knew to cut back if I couldn’t button my jeans.

Pediatricians who are not willing to order key blood tests such as TG, Hg a1c, LDL, CMP, hepatic panel. If they do, and receive the results, they tell you “all is normal” while the A1C is 6,0, glucose is 99, TG are slightly above normal range, and liver markers are borderline.
