The anecdotal evidence is, there seem to be a lot more fat or heavy set kids nowadays than there were decades ago.
It would be good to really understand why this is. And hopefully solutions to the problem will not involve surgeries and drugs.
“It would be good to really understand why this is.”
Maybe it is the American Government pushing high carb intake and “grazing”, along with food companies like Kellogg’s advertising garbage food - and children with missing parents who never cook their kids real food to eat!
Once regular overindulgence in carbs throws your body’s hormones out of whack, losing weight by reducing the amount of junk you eat won’t work. You need to get your body functioning correctly again, and the best bet for that is Keto and restricting how many hours a day you spend eating.
We need parents raising and FEEDING their kids. As in “cooking real food”. And not allowing endless snacks.
Not drugs and surgery. Just normal eating patterns that existed until at least 1950 and maybe until 1970.
