[quote=Anonymous]It's plain to see that there are more obese people now than there were in the 1970s, 80s & 90s. In the 70s & 80s, it was very rare to see a truly obese person. So much more common now. DFW airport is a parade of obese people of all SES. Around NoVa, I see obese children all the time and it's very troubling because their parents are responsible for the bad food choices that result in a 9YO that's 40lbs overweight. Teens are enjoying more freedom and independence, which results in a lot more junk food. Not a great choice, but if they are active, they'll keep the weight off. Problem is, many teens lay in front of the xbox undisturbed for 4+ hours and weight piles on. It's mean ol' Mom & Dad's job to get them on the right track. I know girls are sensitive to comments about their weight, but a problem can't be solved if it's not addressed.[/quote]
