Obesity Increases Among US Children

From the study: "About 4 million children ages 6 through 11 and 5.3 million teenagers ages 12 through 19 were overweight or obese in 2002, the report said. In addition, more than 10 percent of preschool children between the ages of two and five were overweight in 2002, compared with 7 percent in 1994."



Hmm, I wonder if that has anything to do with the fast food item below? We feed our kids crap, drug them with high-fructose corn syrup, sit them in front of the TV to play video games and then wonder why they're fat.



Feeding children fast food and other garbage is a form of child abuse and should be punished.
