[quote=Anonymous]I've observed teenage girls on streets of Georgetown in hoochie shirts with bellies rolling out in the summer month - maybe girls were always chubby but now fashions have changed to expose the chub. Personally, as the mom of two young kids not yet in elementary school, I'm shocked by how many cupcakes, ice cream and other treats parents in DC feed their toddlers. I'm horrified by people thinking "organic" potato chips are okay -- its still junk whether organic or not! I don't think DC is worse than the rest of the country -- or at least not the Georgetown area, where I think kids get a lot of walking in and aren't in cars as much -- but agree with PP that lack of socioeconomic access to healthy/expensive fresh fruits and veggies could be a contributing factor to obesity in other parts of the city....
