Obesity rate is rising for kids

Started by BackFire4 pages

Well, lucky for me I'm also quite tall, so I don't look as heavy as I am.

I'm not horribly fat, but I could definately stand to lose a good 40 pounds.

*gets calculator*
ah, height, the perfect hide-out 😉

oh well, as long as it doesn't bother you, why care 😄

Because its not healthy and even though you may feel confident and not care about your appearance its still not good.Im 13 and im not terribly chubby I have a stomach tho.I know what is was like to made fun of as a little kid and never make fun of a fat person because when I see it happen it makes me sick and I just dont like it.

Alot depends upon bone density doesn't it?

or so they claim in south park 😉

I'm fat, and I recognize the fact that it's no ones fault but my own. When I want to lose weight, I will, but right now I'm happy the way I am. I'm real sick of people blaming the fast food restaurants, the parents, society...it's all bullshit. Too all fat people everywhere, it's no ones fault but our own, you don't like it? Put down the fork and hop on a bike.

before blaming some else for their obesity those people should at least accept some responsibility! Whats the point in blaming Mc donalds? It is your choice in the end. So no one should blame some else for their obese fat bodies!

I have a picture of a obease woman in a bikini stuck on my fridge, and underneath i wrote:

''Reach inside and this will be you on your next holiday''

I must say, it has an amazing effect. ✅

Here are some very very easy ways that kids today wont get fat through their teen and adult years.

Parents should minimize on the sweets and encourage some more healther foods, and get their kids in physical excersie, sports is a great way for kids to get that excersie at a young age and also teach them confidence and competition.

Just an example of a lil girl in my family who will be fat. I was at a family party and this I think 2nd grade girl is their with her parents and she is already chubby and she wants another ****ing brownie it was her 3rd one and these brownies are made by my grandmother who puts a insane amount of chocolate and marshemllows in it. I had a half of one since I am starting a diet. But this girl who is in 2nd grade who doesnt get any excersie is eating these junk foods that just build up excess fats.

Im like if she just ate a decent amount of good food she wouldnt be hungry for the sweets.

I mean as backfire said that its no one else fault but yourself thats totally wrong it might be true as an adult you are mature enough to get your ass out and do some workouts and eat right but as a kid your parents are the ones feeding you and allowing you to eat those brownies and sit on your ass all day.

At my school all they have there to eat for the kids is pizza, mashed potatoes and other junk food im like no wonder these kids that dont make there lunchs that sit around all day are so ****ing fat. I think the school should provide us with some sweets but mostly healhty filling foods such as chicken breast, or beef. not mcdonalds french fries and ****ing pizza hut.

Kids won't eat healthier foods because healthier foods taste like shit- plain and simple.

Okay, wait a minute! Are we talking about adults or children here? Sure an adult is quite aware that by eating constanly fast food meals he/she will get overweight. Certainly he/she can blame only themselves for being obese, but a child doesn't know that! An adult has already being inform about nutrional facts. A child hasn't learn it yet! For us a large double chocolate milk shake is pack with calories and fat! A child doesn't know that! A child only knows that IT TASTE GOOD!

For the ppl who say "I'm fat is my fault" We KNOW that! But a child isn't properly inform that by eating too much fast food is bad for their health! That's why I blame parents and Fast food restaurants! Those people are adults! And they know that fast food is bad for children. Yet still target young kids with images of clowns, cartoons, toys, and contests! Don't you think that's just plain sick? I do!

when I was young, I knew that if you ate too much or too greasy you got fat... And I have very strong believes that almost every kid knows that here

Who’s to blame? If we talk obese CHILDREN it’s probably a combination of the choices mentioned. Parents who’re too busy and uneducated to take proper care of their children and give in to a child whining and wanting more crappy food and junk. Parents who somehow refuse to realise that THEY have a responsibility to make sure their kids get proper nutrition. If the child is obese when it reaches adolescence it’s next to impossible to loose weight again.
It says on cigarettes today that it’s unhealthy for you. It’s illegal to advertise for cigarettes. If junk-food is so bad for us, and for children, why doesn’t the same law apply here? Obesity is going to cost society and arm and a leg, with the heart-diseases, diabetes and so on and so forth, so it might as well read on candy, soda and crappy foods “Warning, this will make you fat.”

And of course schools should offer healthy foods and teach kids the value of nutrition.
Obesity is going up even here in Denmark. We’re not there with the Americans yet – and THAT is scary, some of the people I’ve seen will visiting over there are so huge it’s impossible.
But as BF says: For adults it’s the adults own responsibility. But it seems as if food – especially junk-food – has become ENTERTAINMENT in the western world. That eating no longer deals with hunger, but with something to DO.
At the same time the beauty ideals, for both men and women, are becoming downright impossible. That might be one of the reasons why it’s so difficult for the obese to even get started – why bother? The ideal for beauty is almost impossible to obtain.

I seriously cant belive how lazy people are. You know what makes me mad is the people that are so ****ing fat and then they lose all that weight and then are praised for it im like they dont deserve any praise they shouldnt of gotten fat in the first place. what about the people that bust their ass in the gym day in and out and eat right you dont see people saying behind their backs o did u see how much so and so did this no all you hear is oo did u hear about the fat ass thatsnot fat anymore kinda makes me mad

Yep, I agree. I hate assholes like Jared getting all this praise because HE PAID 6$ FOR A GODDAMN VEGETABLE SANDWICH THAT HE COULD HAVE MADE FOR FREE AT HIS HOUSE. He went from being fat and ugly to just being ugly, and now his smug, unpleasant ass is a "hero" to other fat, smug people who have money to throw away on sandwiches that they could just as easily make at home. Idiots.

I dont know if you are being sarcastic or not but what ever it is backfire its funny as hell 😂

No, I'm dead serious, I think it's so lame.

As a parent I take full responsibility for my children's obesity and have voted that it's the parents fault.

DeNiro, BF> I do not necessarily disagree with you – being sarcastic or not. When we’re talking adults, grown-up people, they have no one to blame but themselves.
What I was trying to figure out is why so many obese people do not act. If they’ve given up and resigned themselves to just growing bigger – and why? WHY?
Smug? ... I suppose if people "quit" something, be it crappy food or cigarettes they CAN become smug...

Corran> Huh? Are you kids obese? And if you take responsibility for it, what do you DO about it?

Parents are to blame for children being obese. It's the parents resposnibility to be feeding their children right from the start so that their kids will know how to eat right when they're older.
