The problem of over weight kids in America has always been a point of debate that has interested a wide cross section of people.
It is of concern not because of the size these kids, no it's the negative health related with being overweight that is causing the stir.
It has been established that even with the advent and proliferation of health and wellness products, weight loss and dieting programs, there is an observed and steady growth in the amount of overweight kids in America.
The school system has been taking the brunt of the flack recently as to being one of the main culprits responsible for the encouragement, perpetuation and spread of obesity in kids.
There have been initiatives and programs introduced and forced onto the school diets with a view to bringing obesity under control in schools, but alas it doesn't seem to have had, or is having any effect whatsoever in nipping the problem.
So it is being relegated to the realms of file thirteen.
There are some that blame the problem on parents, others say it is unavoidable as it could be an illness.
There are cases that can be attributed to Browns Syndrome but this only is responsible for a minute portion of the fat kids in the system.
The greater section can be controlled if the will to do so is employed.
But, the will is not really looking in that direction now; there seem to be far more pressing issues that has it occupied, at least for now.
