Ok A child that sits around all day and is allowed to eat all the time is just bad parenting.
BUT, heavy people are just normal.
Lets take a short walk down history. The early dinosaurs over 250,000,000 (That's over 250 million) years ago
were shrimps measuring about one foot tall. The Earth at that time was lush and getting 'lusher' plus there was more oxygen and CO2 in the air. All animals grew larger over time and there was plenty food for every animal.
Over the next 165,000,000 years, dinosaurs grew amazingly huge topping out around 50 tons (That's 100,000 LBs) and about 30 or 40 feet long. They just didn't go from pip-squeeks to amazons overnight. They grew to their enormous size over tens of millions of years.
Going back to the earliest human ancestors - about 5 to 6 million years ago, our ancestors were only about three feet tall. Lack of food and lack of protein was the main reason for their small size.
Then there is the commune in Sweden where everyone was over 6 feet 2 inches. They decided to only eat a macro-biotic diet. What happened? All their children were shorter than 5 feet 9 inches. Why? Lack of meat protein.
So that brings us to currant times. In the 1950s the average high school student was about 5 foot 6.5 inches
and skinny. Today's high school students average about 5 feet 10 inches and carry a lot more weight.
BUT are they obese? The news is trying to tell us that they are. My thought is that their height is evolution of the human species at work. In 5 to 6 million years we went from 3 feet to 5 feet 6.5 inches. In only 55 years,
we went from 5 feet 6.5 inches to 5 feet 10 inches. That's evolution at work. The human species is getting taller. And most of the human species are getting both prettier and more handsome.
I see second generation and third generation people of all races being taller than their parents and they are
also heavier. OK - Some of the extra weight might be a more sedentary lifestyle but for the most part its better nutrition, more meat in their diets and more available food.
And that's the way I see it...
