New Study Aims to Stop Overweight Kids from Growing Up Obese

An embarrassment.

"It's well documented that children of obese parents are at risk of becoming obese early in life, and that obese children are at risk of becoming obese adults.

Now, in the first study of its kind in the U.S., University at Buffalo researchers, who have been at the forefront of the fight against childhood obesity for nearly three decades, will test a family-based weight-control intervention in three large pediatric practices in Western New York, funded by a $2.58 million grant from the National Institutes of Health."

Really.

When everyone around is decrying how fat kids are getting and continue to get, do you really want to claim that you "have been at the forefront of the fight against childhood obesity for nearly three decades"?

Really.
