Are you serious?what about fat kids that have money and educated parents? What would you suggest for them? >>

The article was a correlation between poor kids and obesity and never mentioned children of financial means.

I suggest their parents purchase memberships for their kids in a health club or YMCA, hire a personal trainer and maybe a chef.

I'm presuming the govt. sanctioned this study because the taxpayers of America are somehow involved with govt. assistance and will most likely grow into unhealthy adults on Medicaid and Medicare which will be a future financial burden.

I didn't write the article, just posted it. You may want to write a letter to the editor at the star ledger or to your congressman for further info regarding obese rich children.

That's interesting that you read it like that. I read the article implied that children are getting fatter, poverty rates for children have increased, birth rates for teens have dropped and so forth. I never read that being fat was a direct result of being poor. Maybe you should contact the editor to have them correct the article so it can support your claim. Or have the people that commissioned the study clarify their results. You have made this article an issue of race baiting and unfotunately refuse to be enlightened on what you have done.
