"The percentage of American children who are overweight or obese appears to have leveled off after a 25-year increase, according to new figures that offer a glimmer of hope in an otherwise dismal battle."When too much of a bad thing is good.When too much of a bad thing is good:
"'That is a first encouraging finding in what has been unremittingly bad news,' said Dr. David Ludwig, director of an obesity clinic at Children's Hospital Boston. 'But it's too soon to know if this really means we're beginning to make meaningful inroads into this epidemic. It may simply be a statistical fluke.'"My money is on the fluke.
But even assuming that there is a leveling-off, will this translate into fewer fat adults?
Stay tuned.
But not to the media. They will be all over this as a victory for a system that clearly does not work.
