child obessity

I am so amazed at how many kids are over weight to be so young. I was reading an article on how so many physcians have performed surgey on childern between the ages 12 and 19. Involving roughly 9 million children over the age of six. There are so many hormones being pumped into our foods that are causing our children to reach puberty quicker. Not only are our chiildren over weight there is a hormone over dose that is found in milk and our meats. childhood obesity involves significant risks to physical and emotional health, and given the large percentage of American children at risk for type 2 diabetes at some point in their lives (for example, an estimated 30 percent of boys and 40 percent of girls born in 2000), it is worth asking: Is childhood obesity evidence of child abuse? Or are the economics of eating well skewed to the well-off, while the poor and working classes must make do with empty calories and trans fats? This is ridiculous! We need to do better with our childern and teach them now before they end up sick.
