For some kids, a few extra treats in moderation during the holiday season is harmless!. But for others who indulge year-round and get little exercise, extra holiday indulgences only add to weight gain and the prevalence of childhood obesity in the United States!.

The problem, say researchers at University of Michigan C!.S!. Mott Children's Hospital, is that large numbers of parents fail to recognize that their children are overweight or obese, and therefore may be less inclined to modify their children's diet and activity levels!.

According to a new report by the C!.S!. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health, more than 40 percent of parents with obese children ages 6 to 11 describe their child not as obese, but as "about the right weight!."

In fact, the report finds only 13 percent of parents with obese children ages 6 to 11 rate their child as being very overweight, compared with 31 percent of parents with obese children ages 12 to 17!. And, less than 10 percent of parents with obese children ages 6-11 say they are "very concerned" about their child's weight!.

It is very worrying, I agree!. Unfortunately, if some parents continue to assist in their child's obesity (they must have some control over what they are eating) then Social Services will have to step it, because over feeding your child, with will contribute towards a whole host of health issues is essentially child abuse!.

It's total crap to say poor parents can't afford to buy healthy food, it's QUANTITY not quality that will make someone gain weight!. Schools also should remove some of the useless subjects that are being taught like, 'wood-work technology' and replace it with Physical Exercise!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not all of it is the parents fault!. A lot of it is!. Parents who are poor, cant afford to buy healthy foods!. They mostly buy stuff that is cheap and will go a ways such as, ramen noodles, mac and cheese, hot dogs, $1 t!.v!.dinners, processed frozen dinners, charity food!. They cant afford to buy chicken breasts, fruits and veggies!. Do you know how much they cost especially out of season!? Sure the parents should take away the tv and games and send them outside to play!. Another thing, poor parents don't have the money to put their kids in sports activities!. Most cost here anywhere from 70-150 bucks a pop plus equipment or uniform! Schools don't have gym class but once a week and none in the upper levels except for the one class they are required to take for their graduation requirements!. It's sad to say but it all comes down to money!. Poor kids miss out on a lot because they cant afford to join any groups or extra curricular activities!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think there's much we can do, but if your a parent of one and they are obese because you feed them poor food or don't make them exercise, you need to learn the consequences and what may become of your child if he remains that way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Stop fast food, processed food, and dairy, and rice, and potatoes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They are obviously happy with their lives or they wouldn't do it!. Leave them alone!. If being obese is so bad then eventually natural selection will kill them off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
