I think we need to be concerned about people who are fat from childhood into adulthood. I would like to see studies on THAT. Sure, a few extra lbs isn't probably going to kill anyone (and some people are thin because of health issues that keep them from gaining weight). HOWEVER look at kids and teens today. Anyone with eyeballs can see that they are carrying more wieght that the average kid did 20 or 30 years ago. And, I have noticed many more girls are carrying it around their bellies. I wonder what the long term health consequences will be. No reason to panic, but certainly, parents should be looking at what their kids are eating, and how much activity they are getting. susie

Yep, but the problem is how do you quantify and measure lazy parents who can't say "No"?

You don't. But at least we can get the word out and some people might listen. Public education is not a bad thing. It doesn't have to be followed up by federal laws.
