[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]change your thinking about what "overweight" actually means and how it happens.[/b] You child will end up with an eating disorder if you start "limiting" healthy food. [/quote] No. This sort of relativism and normalizing of what has always traditionally been considered "overweight" is one of the key reasons for the current obesity epidemic. We all know what overweight is. Shifting the definition to avoid dealing with a very difficult problem isn't the answer. [/quote] The child eats right and exercises. He is 3 years old. The reason we have an epidemic is because kids sit all day in a classroom, can't go out to play when it rains and have 2-3 hours of homework every night, discouraging parents from doing exercise at night. The obsession with thigh gap and 6 pack abs is crazy. [/quote]
