Maybe the solution is to grow your own food source.
Hey! And the way to do that might be for the kids to get some exercise and not to eat too much! (We might be awarded a Nobel Prize for this brilliant idea! Just like Moochelle's husband!)
Maybe additives in the food are causing both weight gain in excess of what the calories should cause and the treatment resistance.
Standards in scientific studies of this type are far below what they were in the fifties. Hell, they’re far below that of the quacks who developed phrenology in the nineteenth century.
Just absorb the attitude they want you to have, and accord government the authority to dictate your food.
That is so wrong, you probably think they shouldn’t have sex either. Obviously government knows better, these kids need more food stamps.

The weight is most likely the result of their insulin not producing energy, so it is used to store fat. Losing weight would certainly help, but it wouldn’t solve the problem, and it is hard for them to lose weight when they don’t have the energy to exercise enough, and even though they are storing fat, their bodies crave more food for energy.
