Childhood obesity has more than doubled in young children
and tripled in adolescents over the past 30 years; 18 percent of American
children between the ages of six and 11 now fall in the obese category
Five percent of American children are “severely obese,”
which puts them at grave risk for chronic diseases typically reserved for
adults, such as heart and liver disease
Ironically, the celebrities chosen for the First Lady’s
Let’s Move! campaign are the same people telling them to eat Oreos,
Dunkin’ Donuts, and Burger King, and to drink Pepsi and other “designer”
sodas
While most kids surely need more exercise, it must be
understood that more exercise is not enough to counter the ill effects of a high
refined-fructose, processed food diet
You do not get fat because you eat too many calories and
don't exercise enough. Your consumption of grains and sugars, especially
fructose, will determine whether or not you're able to manage your weight and
maintain optimal health
