ParticipantJiggling is not the problem. You focus too much on the superficial aesthetics. There are kids out there who are normal weight and eat junk most of the time. Maybe they won’t be hitting puberty early but they aren’t healthy either.
People should want to be healthy because it’s better for them and they’ll feel better. It shouldn’t be to LOOK better.
Having said that, people’s self esteem goes up when they think they look better. But if overweight becomes the new norm people won’t think it looks “bad” anymore; it will just be normal.

ParticipantYes 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.

Participant[quote=CA renter]FWIW, we had the same thing happen to us with our Citibank card. One day, it was declined for no reason. When I called them up to ask why, they told me that there was a hold on my card because of some sort of fraud (someone tried to use it illegally???), and a new one was on the way.
[/quote]This happened to me a while ago too after BofA took over my Citibank cc. They told me that the card was “compromised” and that it was part of a large database of cards #’s that was hacked into at some merchant and weren’t allowed to tell me who it was. I used that card for everything so it could have been anyone. There was never any strange activity on the card or new card before/after the incident.
