No rudness or disrespect here but doctors and scientists try to determine why children are overweight and obese but the truth is that they don't know any more than we do. they try to make up this long,involved,and complicated diagnoses to figure out why we're fat! Why tell us the reasons we're fat if we know what to do to make us thin! Eat right and exercise! It just seems silly to spend thousands of dollars to make studies if people know the answer. and another thing, News reporters go around saying that lyposuction and gastric bypass surgery are in and they do not know why! Large people are trying to survive in a perfect bodied world! We're pressured to be our best look our best! an overweight person is apparently not allowed to have a big mac every once in awhile unless they want to withstand the taunting and the ridacule! Some ppl say that they dont tease overweight ppl but really all it takes is a whisper or a stare or a snicker to make somebodys day life week feel like crap!
