“Don’t Feed the Obese” child is legislation afoot. The proposition intends to prohibit only the serving of especially fattening food items and meals to children who eat at fast food chain restaurants without a parent or guardian.
According to public interest law professor John Banzhaf, also known as the “Ralph Nader of junk food” writing on the topic, if passed the legislation “would not interfere with decisions made by adults for themselves or by parents for children dining with them, and would impose only minor restrictions.” Additionally, Banzhaf suggests the bill may only target fast food establishments rather than all restaurants.
What do you think might happen to an obese child in a restaurant if this proposal becomes law?

CBS-TV reports more negative health consequences complicating teenage obesity. Fully, 43 percent of obese children who watched 2 hours or more of television daily suffered from high blood pressure - the silent killer!
These findings were pubished by medical doctors Pardee and Schwimmer who studied children and teens seeking treatment for obesity in San Diego and San Francisco, California, and Dayton, Ohio. The heaviest children were the ones with high blood pressure, and they were the same chidlren and teens who watched the most TV.
In my private practice, I advise parents of at-risk children to forbid all eating while watching television, working at the computer, playing handheld games and talking on the phone. Also, get all the electronics out of the kid’s room. And limit all electronics to no more than 1 to 2 hours a day. Children under the age of 2 shouldn’t be watching television at all. These practices go a long way in helping to resolve obesity disease.
While there may be many contributing factors, childhood and teenage obesity and high blood pressure can be reversed.
Debuting at the Austin Film Festival and Screenwriters Conference is Teresa MacInnes’s documentary on teenage obesity. We follow two girls and one boy at a self-esteem building camp in Nova Scotia. “I ain’t going to see an age over thirty.” states the rotund teen, Vincent, as he heads off to camp.
Although too soon to tell if the lessons learned will transform the three principals, we get to know them as they embark on a lifetime of learning about hard compromises and the acceptance that personal growth entails.
For a real-life peek and sympathetic observation into the struggles facing three kids living with teenage obesity the film “Generation XXL” is worth viewing. I’d love to know what you think.~Mattie Mola
How is it that teenage obesity increases even when teen TV viewing decreases? That is an answer Nutritionist Mattie Mola eagerly anticipates as scientists research.
“Although there is nothing documented, the teens in my practice tend to have less active real lives and more active virtual lives,” says Mola, “even if they aren’t necessarily TV watchers.” Inertia is conspicuous in the obesity disease rise.
Get your kids actively moving about for at least an hour a day. For a variety of techniques and strategies from a pediatric nutrition specialist, there’s the book Pedia Trim & Fit: Reclaiming Overweight Children.
Being physically active will help children and teens have a healthy pulse, steady blood pressure and sleep better. If they are already at a healthy weight it will help them maintain. If they are diagnosed with teenage obesity, the exercise will help them achieve a weight within a normal range.
I’d love to know what you think.
Not surprisingly, obese children along with many other Americans get most of their energy from soft drinks. Soft drinks are the number one source of calories in the American diet. Is there any connection between this fact and the ballooning rate of childhood and teenage obesity?
It’s well known among researchers that limiting glucose (sugar) in your diet is a key to longevity. Recently, a German study with worms, showed that cutting down on sugar intake (glucose) increased the lifespan of worms the equivalent of 15 human years, which is a major improvement.
Considering that due to the rise in rates of obese children and teenage obesity, children’s life expenctancy is shorter than that of their parents, isn’t eliminating soft drinks and treats a good thing?
I recently read about an interesting quirk involving teenage obesity and Army recruiters. It is one of several factors that results in only 3 in 10 candidates being “fully qualified” to enlist, reports Dave Montgomery writing for the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper.
Not being “fullly qualified” forces the service to issue waivers to offset a particular deficiency, depending on the circumstances. Other factors include being a high-school dropout, criminal records and low scores on qualifying tests in addition to teenage obesity.
Our neighbors to the north have released findings on the obese child and teenage obesity worth noting. According to the Vital Signs study, published by the Greater Saint John Community Foundation (New Brunswick, Canada), compared against 10 other cities in Canada, Saint Johners have the highest obesity rate, at 24.4 per cent of the population over 15 years old.
Poverty in the community may be one of the key causes of obesity, said report co-writer Randy Hatfield, himself from Saint John.
School officials suggested that, when it comes to the obese child and teenage obesity, there isn’t enough access to recreational options outside of the school system.
