New Research: Toddlers' Intake Exceeds Energy Needs

More embarrassing research. It is not new. And is a waste to boot.

"Australian toddlers are consuming more energy than they need, putting them at risk of overweight and obesity, according to new research in Nutrition & Dietetics published by Wiley-Blackwell.

Researcher Dr Karen Webb said the 16 to 24 month old children consumed on average 10 per cent more kilojoules than their estimated energy requirement. She said small, ongoing excesses in energy intake could lead to overweight or obesity in the long-term. "

Clearly a moron.

Small, ongoing excesses in energy intake MUST lead to overweight or obesity in the long-term.

There is no choice, stupid. (Unless one trains which is almost never the case.)

Shut up.
