"Childhood obesity is on the rise, and with it comes an increased risk for developing health problems such as type 2 diabetes. The best way to reduce the risk of serious weight-related health issues such as diabetes is to eat healthy and increase physical activity.The truth is that these 4 to 8 year-old piglets are already fat which demonstrates a failure of the system to intervene at an appropriate time.
Researchers at Geisinger Health System's Henry Hood Center for Health Research and the University of Pennsylvania have been awarded a grant by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases to find effective methods to prevent and treat childhood obesity in primary care settings for children ages 4 to 8 who are in the 85th percentile or higher body mass index (BMI). BMI is a weight for height category based on a child's age and sex. Children with BMI above the 85th percentile are more likely to develop lifelong weight-related health problems."
The truth is that mandatory reporters, e.g., teachers, principals, doctors and nurses, have failed these kids and are liable.
The truth is that their parents failed these kids and are liable as nutritional child abusers.
You want to have fun? You want an effective way to combat pediatric obesity?
Report the child abusers and their enablers to the authorities.
