"A surgeon at Children's National Medical Center and his colleagues from New York University have found laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (Lap band) to improve the health of morbidly obese adolescents.This is nuts!
The study, published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, involved nearly 50 girls and boys ages 14-17. The participants showed significant decreases in total and android fat mass 2 years after surgery. Android fat has been linked to the development of obesity-related illnesses, such as diabetes, heart disease, and insulin resistance."
Here are kids getting morbidly obese by their early to mid teens and no one, not a parent (who is ultimately responsible), teacher, doctor, nurse, principal, etc., has intervened to help them.
Now they "need" surgerizing.
Clearly more nutritional child abuse.
Save the kids.
