Childhood Obesity Rant

[jackie]

I was watching Dr Phil one day (I despise Dr Phil but I was interested in this one family he was talking to) they were talking about childhood obesity. this mother (was divorced) and she was allowing her 3 or 4 year old son to eat nothing but junk and thought she was doing absolutely nothing wrong. Apparently she had been on the show about it before and she refused to change his eating habits and refused to believe that letting him eat this way was ruining his health. this child said.... on his own .... that it is hard for him to get up off the floor.... walk places.... run.... even get up and down the stairs or in and out of bed.

I can't imagine ever being so ignorant to allow that to happen to your child.
I am glad to hear that someone in his family took the steps needed to get him down to a normal weight.

OK, this is too all the girls in here talking about eating lots of bad food and still being skinny.

You seem to be almost proud of it, but if I were you I would start making changes for a healthier diet. Just because you aren't overweight, doesn't mean that you are particularly healthy and have free reign to sit on your butts all day eating junk. I would start taking care of my health before my physical appearance took a change for the worse.
