All too often you see overweight kids, and childhood obesity is running rampant in our communities. You see these kids with donuts and chips and cookies and ice cream and soda. But you never see them with apples, yogurt or cheese...when you see the parents, they are almost always just as big. When you run into them shopping, the cart is full of sugar and instant gratification meals, mac and cheese and canned crap. These things are fine once in while, but you know these folks and you know that this is all they eat, never tossed salad or grilled lemon chicken with steamed asparagus and rice pilaf. These children are headed for lives of ridicule and an obscene amount of health problems....now, this question is for the junk food eaters....NOT health problems that cause weight gain..I am an average sized adult with 3 boys, all of my boys are average sized...my 4 yr old weighs 45lbs, my 10 yr old-60lbs& my 11 yr old-70. I know an 11 year old child that weighs over 120lbs...healthy?
