Childhood obesity makes for an early grave. (States ABC News and Health)
Child Obesity is a very scary thing. Why is it so easy to gain weight and so hard to lose it? Many kids are suffering a hard life of being overweight. Usually if a child is overweight someone in their family is facing the same problem. Most children don't understand moderation in food. They don't know when to say stop, I've had enough. This is excessive eating, or more likely know as over eating. People over eat for many reason, stressed, habitual overeating, comfort overeating and even boredom. Excessive eating can lead to many problems like diabetes or becoming overweight.
Its not only over eating that's causing children to be overweight it lack of exercise. Children aren't as active as they used to be. With this new modernize America most kids are always home playing video games or on the computer. Kids are supposed to be getting fresh air and running around with friends.
So do what you can to help prevent your child from being obese? Make sure they have a healthy balanced diet and that they get enough exercise everyday.

Great post. Do you think advertising has anything to do with childhood obesity? There are so many fatty, high caloric foods that are marketed toward young people. Whose job is it to make sure that children do not eat too much of these foods?
