I agree that obesity is a serious problem, but not all kids who are overweight are lazy pigs. I know a girl who is 5'10 and 140 pounds she is slender, just big boned. Charts told her she was overweight, but doctors told her different. Point is, everybody is different from genes to metabolisms to skin color.Turning America into pansies? Because I'm against bullying and teasing about how someone looks? Let someone's appearance be up to them.Oh, and we still played dodgeball at my school.:)

that is such bs. people like you are turning america into a bunch of pansies. you can't even play dodgeball in school because it hurts kids feelings. I'll bet you're overweight.

Why does this guy fail to name the so called studies regarding this subject? Nice bit of anekdotal evidence though.

Okay overweight means over the normal weight for your height and age. Being overweight doesn't necessarily make you fat. Also, some of the kids in this video were not (did not look) fat. When Gym class is a bunch of jocks teasing everybody else, why else would kids try and get out of there in high school?

Television and video games. Those two things don't help. Diet is very important but kids don't get enough excise today. That is the major reason. And I don't want the government telling me what to do. I can handle it myself. So far they have a poor track record.

heh, feed your children with healthy food from the moment they start to eat otherwise it'll just get harder and harder and harder to change their eating habits by the minute.
