Question: Whats the heart of the problem of teenage obesity in america!?
Everyone seems to put the blame on fast food restaurants,so they now are having special diet menues,taking out the transfat,etc!. 20 yrs ago it wasn't as big of a problem!.Fastfood resteraunts didn't have special menues back then! The problem today is lazyness! Instead of kids going outside to play with there friends after school,dinner,etc!. they plop there butts on the computer,or in front of the video games!.Instead of blamming school lunches not being healthy,or fastfood etc!.parents shouldn't let there children be on the computer 8 hrs a day,or in front of the tv,they need to take responsibility and stop putting the blame on everyone,or every thing! What do you guys think of this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well twenty years ago they also didn't have "Super Size" and had smaller portions period!. You can't blame the fast food businesses though, people are in charge of what they eat!. People now and days don't eat as healthy as they should, and don't watch portions sizes!. As well, as the fact that they do not get as much exercises as they did about twenty years ago!.
I wouldn't blame it all on a parent though!. Remember they are humans as well, so they make mistakes!. They should though try and teach their kids how to eat the healthy foods, and to eat unhealthy foods less!. When you reach teenage hood though, you should also be learning how to take care of yourself!. So even if you're parents aren't helping towards you're health, they should be making the decision to follow in their parents bad food choices, or to be making their own healthy food choices!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Corporations now rule America!. The fatter the kids get the more money they're making!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sugar!. I don't think that it is lack of exercise!. I see a lot of obese children playing outside and running as fast as the skinny kids!. Many of them have show signs of ancanthosis nigricans which is caused by insulinemia http://www!.driscollchildrens!.org/diabete!.!.!.

http://search!.yahoo!.com/search!?ei=UTF-8&!.!.!. I saw an overweight kid eat 2 pop tarts for lunch!. What is that!? I saw this same kid playing basketball as well as M!.J!. I would love to see America do this experiment!. Take all sugar out of every child's diet!. No sugar, no soda, no sugary fruit juices, no rice, no bread, no potatoes!. I bet my skinny son's s computer that obesity would greatly diminish!. Plus, kids would become brighter once they got rid of the carb addiction!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
