: WHO report: Child and teen obesity soars tenfold worldwide in 40 years


This article discusses the massive increase in overweight/obese children worldwide in the last 40 years. In the United States, 20% of our pediatric population are obese: http://fal.cn/qaNL

Obesity in these children will greatly increase their risk of diabetes, heart disease and several cancers as adults. 

Medical technology will NOT reverse this trend. Parents and teens…make good food choices, stop drinking soda/tea, and shut off the television/video games and get outside!
