What was funny or ironic was that before this story they had a expert talk about obesity in children, saying how its becoming an epidemic in our country.

(I think it may have been a segment on the Early Show but it could have been a segment on the local edition before the Early Show came on).

The Segment , just in case anyone wants to watch the video before accusing Max of being heartless, insensitive and fat-bigoted. This baby will probably have heart disease before she's thirty. If her parents don't make an effort to shape up, she will have a miserable childhood, worse teenage years, and probably die early. THIS IS A CRUEL THING TO DO TO YOUR CHILDREN. It's not about being mean to fat people.

When I grew up, if I wasn't at school I was outside riding my bike, skateboard, or something like that. A lot of kids (not all) growing up now can be found sitting at the TV playing video games.

Yep,
We're now seeing Type II diabetes in children....the kind that was alway associated with adults in the past.

Reasoning being obesity and sedentary lifestyles. It's sad. But the DBE's that I know say that the parents are the ones they want to strangle.
