American Children Are Becoming More Obese

By Lisa Adrian

It has been known that American’s are the most overweight people in the world, but it’s shocking to find out that American children are obese.

Recently, studies at the Wayne State University showed that some 30 percent of children in the US as young as 9-months are obese.

The studies speak volumes. It seems parents don’t care what they put in their kids diet or feed them. I’ve walked into fast food joints and I’ve seen with my own eyes parents feeding their infants or young babies greasy hamburgers and fries.

This is bad parenting and makes me wonder how anyone can have kids even people like that who feed their kids anything they want.

A child will wind up with many life long health problems such as diabetes, heart problems, and possible hip and joint problems from being overweight at such a young age. If you ask those parents why they feed their kids unhealthy foods, they will answer with either Mind your business or I am busy and don’t have time to fix them a healthy meal.

If you don’t have the time to take care of your child and make sure they are eating healthy and getting exercise then why have a child in the first place?
