Babies on a diet? Trend is rising, but experts say don’t count kids’ calories

Those wouldn't be the same "experts" who helped get us into this mess, would it?

Obesity in children has become a serious health problem in the United States, to the point where even babies are at risk.

In Cass and Clay counties, almost 19 percent of babies and toddlers under 2 years old are considered overweight or obese, according to data from local health care organization clinics in Cass and Clay counties from July 1, 2010, through June 30.

Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Consequently, pediatricians nationwide are seeing an upsurge in parents concerned about their infants’ weight. And more parents are putting their babies and toddlers on diets.

Let's see.

The kids are fat.

Parents have control over the number of Calories their kids eat.

The only way to lose weight is by eating fewer Calories than are burned.

When someone does this it is called a diet.

So?

F**k the experts.
