[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] That’s the real tragedy here - skinny to average sized children in wealthier neighborhoods and heavy to obese children in poorer ones.[/quote] It's really evident when you see kids from around the country on class field trips to DC. The overweight kids tend to clearly be lower income. The groups with predominantly healthy weight kids are obviously from higher income areas. It's a night and day difference. Weight is very much a class indicator these days. [/quote] Then how come you see wealthy fat adults?[/quote]
