Obesity, low birthweight mar health of kids

More child abuse.
"The researchers found obesity among children in middle childhood is nearly four times more common than in children of the same age in a national survey in 1960s. For children aged 2 to 5, it is three times higher.

'These are dramatic increases in the prevalence of overweight children in American society from one generation to the next,' the researchers wrote. 'The importance of this trend for the health and well-being of children is difficult to exaggerate.'

They said overweight children have greater risks of type 2 diabetes, and often have elevated risk factors associated with heart disease, such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure."

Hold the parents accountable.
