The parents try to fill the baby up with french fries and soda pop," said Frank.

If more "young kids" would stop having babies, the problem would be solved.

There's no excuse for children being hungry in America.

I always tell the hand wringers that there is NO poverty in this country - except by choice. If children are going hungry, then the parents are not working or availing themselves of federal programs. In either case, the children should be put into state care becuase the parents are unfit morons.

But infant-child protection centers do not exist in the United States, unlike it other countries, such as France Just a line from the article for everyone's enjoyment. The typo after "unlike" is not mine.

In some areas, green vegetables and fruit are impossible to buy -- even in a can, because there may be no supermarket. Moreover, such items are costly.Who wrote this nonsense?

The problem is we don't serve dinner at school. We got breakfast and lunch in the bag. Plus, they have to be able to wander if there 365 days out of the year.
I can remember taking my lunch box to school, my mom made breakfast and dinner. An ice cream was a treat, maybe once a month. None of us were overweight.

Increasing numbers of young American children are showing signs of serious malnourishment, fueled by a greater prevalence of hunger in the United States, while, paradoxically, two-thirds of the US population is either overweight or obese.
Implying that two thirds of us gorge while the rest go hungry. When, in fact, the poor are MORE likely to be obese.
Some pediatricians worry that cuts in welfare aid proposed in President George W. Bush's 2006 budget will only exacerbate the situation. By contrast Bush plans to keep tax cuts for more affluent sectors of the population, they note.
Pediatricians say this? They sound pretty political for pediatricians.
"Recently I have been alarmed because we are getting more children who are so ill that they go to hospital rather than they come to the clinic first" a situation which, in 20 years of practising medicine, Frank had seen reverse.
Ummm...could it be that you can walk into a hospital and get treatment? I mean, how are parents medically qualified to know they should skip the clinic?
In some areas, green vegetables and fruit are impossible to buy -- even in a can, because there may be no supermarket. Moreover, such items are costly.
There are places in America with no food stores, and you can't buy a can of beans because it's too expensive? But you can buy an endless supply of fries and a Coke? Pff!
In some families, eating junk food will mean one child is obese while the other is underweight, said Black. "The first will eat junk food and nothing else, the second will eat junk food and everything else."
Wait...what? The kid who eats junk food and nothing else is fat. The kid who eats junk food and lots of other stuff is malnourished. They're both in the same household, but it's Bush's fault?
Dang. I'm sorry I read this one. My head hurts.

I read all the way through and never saw the part about parental responsibility. Did I just miss that?

I clicked on the link and saw that Yahoo News got the article from AFP (Agence France-Presse). I guess that even AP and Reuters weren't radical enough today, so they went trolling through French news.

"In the first year of life, children triple their birth weight," said Black, "and if children do not have enough to eat during those very early very times, you first see that their weight will falter and then their height will falter." Breastfeeding=free. Idealistic but true.

If it isn't starving children it is homeless people whenever a Republican is in the white house. Cry me a river! (Sarcasm)

It's frickin food. It's not that expensive if you cook it yourself. Of course if you buy prepared frozen food or eat at McDonald's all day you will be broke really soon.
A friend of my grandmother's lives on a food budget of around $20 a month and she's not starving.

AFP as far as I can determine is a left-wing anti-American organization it is not a legitimate news organization as far as I can find.
Is it the Arab News Service?

How can they be hungry and obese at the same time? Aren't we told that obesity is America's number one nutritional problem and the poor are most affected?
