Left untreated, child obesity leads to adult obesity.

Obesity in adults is responsible for premature death or disability in many people world wide (Fact - More people die world wide from being over weight than underweight - World Health organization stats).

Child obesity is completely preventable, and if nothing is done to correct diets as a child, our children are being set up for health problems in their adult lives.

Who do you think is responsible for child hood and teen obesity?

An underlying medical condition or the parents. There is a link between advertising, easy access to unhealthly food, and lack of exercise to obesity. Parents need to stand in between that link and their child. They need to take a more proactive role in their own child's health instead of leaving it up to the school system. They have to quite blaming society for their lack of parenting skill. It isn't an easy task by any means. But who ever said parenting was supposed to be easy? Only when a problem is recognized, responsibility taken for it, can it be solved.
