Childhood obesity is indicative of a pattern that will likely last well into adulthood. Childhood obesity (in addition to parental neglect and the lack of physical activity) is largely to blame for the epidemic of Type II diabetes. Thus, shipmate, rendering your first sentence untrue. Chubby children are becoming chubby adults in today's society.
While I agree to an extent with Michelle O's campaign to halt childhood obesity, I don't care for her approach to end it.
