[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach in a high poverty school and by 5th-6th grade, nearly every student is overweight. It's sad. Some of them stayed overweight as they grew but some of them were a normal weight and then just packed on the pounds.[/quote] Its all the cheap food loaded with unhealthy grains and sugar / high fructose corn syrup. Healthy food is expensive. [/quote] No it isn’t. Can we just stop this? It is a cultural shift to eat crap as the majority of your food intake, especially for low income. [/quote] Haven’t you been reading thisnthread? It’s very clear that all the little UMC Larlo’s and Larla’s are getting fat because of their extra servings of chicken thighs and soup :roll: [/quote] I think it is both. Many people eat a lot of crap food, and many people overeat in general. But wherever. All of your kids are likely to be fat eventually anyhow. It’s projected by 2050 >90% of adults will be overweight [/quote] I think it's hard for people to feel they are denying their kids food- but I have seen that statistic too (or something very close to it). Parents have to get it in their heads that eating disorders aren't going to be the battle of most of the future generation. For the vast majority of people , it's going to be obesity. People need to parent accordingly. Nobody else is going to solve this problem for your kids.[/quote]
