I saw on the news that by the year 2010, 70% of Canadian and American kids (ages 1-18) will be overweight...

Man... and i thought it was bad enough as it is...

As usual...some people just seem to miss the point.

Obesity is on the increase due to poor quality cheap fast food. Less and less children are being properly fed a balanced diet including quality protein for muscle development and maintenance, vitamins and minerals for proper development and maintenance of all vital organs hormone balance and nutrient absorption, and the correct mix of carbohydrates and fats for energy and to help burn off excess calories.

In addition, cheap food has a long term genetic influence upon the quality of the chromosomes passed onto children: cheap food = stupid children.

Obesity is on the increase across the World!! But it is due to crap food, lack of exercise due to computer gaming, dvd/video entertainment & TV plus the general attitude of kids these days as a result of these factors that has created the apathy and in fact the 'denial' factor as demonstrated in some of these posts.

Obesity not only is the pre-cursor to some terrible diseases: diabetes, chronic heart disease and cancer to name but a few, but of course create an enormous financial strain upon society. The more obesity, the less working hours put in due to illness and the greater the expense to the Nation in order to fund the Healthcare necessary to treat the problem.

Lower productivity, higher taxes, more unhappy overweight people...

Need I say any more?

Peace Out
