I realize American kids seem to be getting fatter. One can blame the phasing out of gym classes in middle and high schools to start. My kids went through six years of LAUSD classes and neither my Daughter or Son ever had a gym class. That is a disgrace. The powers that be have put PE on the back burner and I think it has to do with lawsuits and kids getting hurt in gym.<br /><br />As for the epidemic, the definition of what is obese was changed about ten years or so back by the federal gubment and WTF happened next - you guessed it, an "epidemic".They downgraded what was considered fat so very few kids could even qualify as NOT obese.<br /><br />When you look at the old Metorpolitan Insurance Tables, the definiton of what is obese is ridiculously impossibe to conform to. One has to be six feet tall and weigh less than 120 pounds to NOT be considered fat.
