| Study: One in five Canadian children obese
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Canadian kids are packing on the pounds. A recent Stats Canada study found one in five is now considered obese. The study focused on kids between the ages of two and 11.
Dietician and nutrition coach, Ramona Josephson, says parents are the role models but are often in denial that there's even a problem. Josephson adds fast food is easy and it's the french fry that kids love - french fries are also a real problem. "It's the vegetable that's consumed the most and that doesn't really do too well for what's happening. The problem is, is that when a vegetable becomes a receptacle for fat which is what french fries are, it's increasing your total caloric intake."
While fast food outlets are adding healthier choices to their menus, they still fall in the category of what she calls ‘mindless eating.’ "Fast foods are a reality. The fast foods are not as nutritious or as low in calories or as satisfying as healthy foods that are prepared at home."
She says creating a healthy eating environment at home means eating at a table even when snacking - it prevents mindless eating in front of the T.V. She also suggests getting outside and being active.

Fat people are disgusting.
They drive up healthcare costs and people who work hard to live healthy are forced to subsidize these supersized people.
There needs to be a 'fat tax' and fat people should be banned from certain areas (because they are nasty) i.e. downtown.
That is all

^ Metrotown isn't all of Canada though. Haha, yeah there's more fat people nowadays..-_-
I don't understand why people would let themselves get to that point, especially parents.
Why wouldn't they cut back on feeding their kids fatty foods if the result is apparent?

Here are the explanations:
- Both parents work long hours, so they don't have any time to prepare nutritious meals.
- Supposedly, it's unsafe for children to do anything outside unless it's excessively supervised. Parents are then forced to spend more money and enroll their kids in expensive sports programs to get their kids active.
- Parents themselves are setting bad examples for their children by not being active themselves.
Speaking from personal experience, I don't think fast food is that bad per se; it's really the inactivity that explains the obesity problem. I ate a tonne of fast food when I was a kid (McD's on a weekly basis.) I gained a bit of weight around 9-11 years of age, but then I hit my growth spurt and the excess fat went down to a manageable level. On the other hand, I was pretty active - I went swimming, I played street hockey and I rode my bike and rollerbladed around the seawall with my parents.

sugary drinks and salty fast foods are always the culprit
eat and drink in moderation and drink lots of water

I think it's based on weight. Some kids don't look fat maybe just a little chubby but they weigh a lot.

I have a cousin, he's 35 and he's skinny and cut like he works out every day but he doesn't. He use to eat junk food everyday and drink like an idiot on the weekends and always bragged how he can eat and drink whatever and walk around with ripped abs.
Last year he was out playing basketball and he had a heart attack. His arteries were so clogged that the doctor in the ER said he was lucky to be alive because he was due for a fatal heart attack. He's since changed his diet but because he was skinny he thought he was healthy. Eat junk, don't exercise and you'll most likely pay for it later in life no matter what your weight is.
