huge topic:Americans keep getting fatter

bearishgurl, that is the new normal. you are just being vain and you are just teaching your kids to be vain.

remember, someone normal sized is a skinny mini that is always starving herself. chunky is the new norm, and obese is just a little chubby, and only if someone is severely morbidly obese do they need to shed a few pounds.

Yes I read about that study yesterday. It is disturbing but I wasn’t surprised since that’s been coming on for years. I blame hormones in dairy products as well. How unfair to a child to have that responsibility so young.

Childhood is the one time in life where you can have a controlled healthy diet so why not make it ideal? I don’t understand parents who feed their children an unhealthy diet. I even notice parents who eat healthy themselves seem to have lesser standards for their kids at times like letting them eat an obviously unhealthy kids meal or eating unlimited cookies and cake at a party. Or how about candy or ice cream for motivation? I’ve heard teachers give out candy at school for rewards and motivation as well.

I’ve heard other parents remark at how well my kids eat fruit, veggies, their healthy dinner, etc. and that I am “lucky” that they like all of this food. Luck has nothing to do with it. They’ve had a healthy diet since birth and when you don’t have crap in the house and hardly ever eat out they’ll eat whatever you serve! They only drink water as well. Obviously all bets are off when they become adults but hopefully they at least have a foundation of healthy habits and aren’t picky about eating healthy food or hydrating with water only.

I think that anyone who has skin that jiggle is fat.

I look at people, even kids, who walk at the mall with their body parts going, tudung, dudung, tudong… That’s the new normal.

Declining health maybe our downfall. More than even terrorism, health is becoming a matter of national security/survival.

First Signs of Puberty Seen in Younger Girls
By DENISE GRADY

A new study finds that girls are more likely today than in the past to start developing breasts by age 7 or 8.

The research is just the latest in a flood of reports over the last decade that have led to concern and heated debate about whether girls are reaching puberty earlier, and why it might be happening.

Increased rates of obesity are thought to play a major role, because body fat can produce sex hormones. Some researchers also suspect that environmental chemicals that mimic the effects of estrogen may be speeding up the clock on puberty, but that idea is unproved.
