I went to Italy this summer. Not once did I see a coke machine. Not once did I see a place that sold candies. I dont even think they have herd of chips. What I'm trying to say, is that here in America we are always bizzy so we need food on the go. Thats why we eat CRAP. Thats why 2/3rds of our population is overweight. Many Americans dont have the time to make nice meals for there family. So if your wondering why You and your child is overweight, look at what you eat and what you do. And change it NOW.
Reply from Susan, Child's Age 8 - 03/15/05 - IP#: 64.163.232.xxx I understand you are trying to give advise and at the same time,"you're not trying to offend anyone. Well, to be honest, I'm not offended and you're right. The United States has too many fast food places and Americans don't have enough time. That's just the way things are and it takes the individual person to change their habits. I notice that someone mentioned that everyone on this message board needs fuzzy,cuddly,warm advise and we don't want to hear the real thing. Honestly,everyone here wants advise and new ideas so they can help there children they really don't want to be told that their fat and their kid is fat so live with it. My child has a Thyroid Problem, that's what started her weight gain and I finally found a doctor that did all the right tests and is giving me some help. I have been given some good advise and I have read some very heart breaking stories. Unlike you, my heart goes out to them. I think what you need to do is grow a heart and be kind to everyone no matter how big or thin they are or what race they are. I hope your child doesn't the same way you do. Good luck with life. And I pray to god that nothing healthwise ever happens to you that would require you to end up like the obese Americans in the United States.

Reply from HEY I CAN HELP!!, Child's Age 16 - 12/11/04 - IP#: 24.233.80.xxx Hey thanks. Yeah I am not the best speller. I'm not trying to say all Americans are fat, and deffinitly not trying to put anyone down. I just wish our country could be just as healthy!
Reply from Grace, Child's Age 15 - 12/09/04 - IP#: 24.62.180.xxx Your message was nice, spelled correctly, and to the point. I completely agree with you, and just ignore the other posts. They need fuzzy, warm, huggy help, not the real advice.
Reply from HEY I CAN HELP!!, Child's Age 16 - 12/09/04 - IP#: 24.233.71.xxx Well I'm not the one with the fat son/daughter. I make healthy meals for my family and were not obease like you.
