[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's wrong that we are noticing that many teens (girls and boys) and even younger kids are overweight to the point that it is unhealthy. Unfortunately, in a lot of cases, it does seem to be tied to the economic status of the parents. In our middle income neighborhood, I have yet to see one overweight child. I see kids of all ages playing and riding their bikes and they are the kind of "thin" that we saw in the '80s. When my son was in daycare/preschool, not one overweight child in the entire school. Now that he's in public elementary, it's much more common to see chubby kids. At the bigger shopping malls, there are many, many overweight to obese kids of all ages. There are so many factors that lead to this, as pps have listed. How is it right to just ignore this? [/quote]
