Well I never?

I remember working on a surgical ward and a young man was brought in with quite a roasted bottom.......he had done this by his friend lighting his bum gas.
He used to cry like a baby when we changed the gelonet dressings on his bottom.......all because they were acting the mick.

it depends what measurements they are taking to check whether a child is obese or not.
BMI(body mass index) is unreliable because it doesn't take into account that muscular children will weigh more, but that muscles burn calories where fat does not.
The problem of obesity is multifaceted and therefore a 'one size fits all approach' is never going to work.
Also it is wrong to be prescriptive about what parents should include in lunch boxes....it just alienates those who need help......and is counter productive.
It would be far better to give children education in the preparation of healthy food.......in my experience, children are always happy to eat something that they have made.

Just using your eyes and you will see that the figures can't be far wrong
 
Some children have been deemed overweight at these measuring sessions when the clearly do not look fat.
It is a bit of a fine line to tread.....it is easy to instil in children eating disorders......anorexia...bulimia.
Feeding children low fat, low calorie foods can be a mistake.
They need all the food groups, but in moderation.....it is moderation which is the key.

You must have seen young fat kids about, I know I have. Yes I agree that it's not easy to quantify and some may be labelled incorrectly but we are breading a generation that don't know what outside is and prefer to socialise sat in front of a PC - a bit like we are now :D
 
Yes, you are right. The lack of physical activity has a bearing on the issue.
As for me......well I do spend time in front of a screen, but most days I walk between five and ten km.
The only day that I don't clock up my ten thousand(usually in the region of sixteen thousand steps) is on a Sunday.
I am active for an old bird.....looking after Ma sees to this.
