Obese Children
OK, you adults with children, take a look at those precious ones. Are they fat? We’re holding you responsible. You should be ashamed of yourself. If you want to be obese, fine. Your choice. If you feed your kids improperly and don’t encourage them to exercise, you are condemning them to a life that will be less than optimal.
Here are some facts for you to consider. Recent surveys show that the percentage of overweight and obese children (10 to 17 years old) is 30 percent or more in 30 states.
Research has shown that obese children generally go on to become obese adults, and as obese adults they will experience all the chronic, weight-related health issues, such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. And do you remember being a teenager? What do you think the emotional life of a fat teenager is like?
Come on folks, we can do better for our kids! Stop feeding them that junk and take them out and play ball, roller skate, frisbie, pitch and catch, swim, etc. You get the idea. And as a bonus, in the process of helping your kids, maybe you’ll drop a pound or two as well.
Don’t make me send the fat police to your house! If you kids are obese, or on their way to being obese, please change directions.
