Why are there so many overweight children? (Answers: 10) (Comments: 0)

Now, i'm not talking about the ones with medical conditions thats a whole different thing. I'm speaking of when mother's or father's constantly feed their child unhealthy foods not because he/she is hungry but just because they want to eat. I was watching a tv program on obese children and they were saying that america has an all time high of obese children. They said that parents are filling their children up with greasy,fatty foods, with lots of sugar intake and other products that are simply unhealthy for a young growing child. I dont understand when parents allow their children to eat or drink more candy, soda, and hamburgers than they do vegatables, fruits, and juice. It's not that you have to deprive your child of things they like, but their are ways to substitute things that aren't good for them. "You see parents saying "my child can eat whenever and whatever they want" Parent with this mindstate don't seem to realize that they are killing their children.

Does it bother you to see overweight kids? It bothers me!? (Answers: 13) (Comments: 0)

As a mother and former medical professional, I will take my daughter to the park and it scares me to see how many overweight children and adults there are. It scares me. I know people say it's "genetic" and for a very slight few, genetics will play a part. But I blame the parents on there choices when it comes to raising there kids. With the increase of Video games, fast food and less encouragement to go outside. Our kids are getting fatter and fatter. Science says the generation of kids now will be the first Generation of kids NOT to outlive there parents if this obesity trend continues. I will go into the little girls department and they have clothes that I can fit into at 145 lbs. For me that is a good weight for my size and stature but for a 12 year old, really. As a mom, it just scares me to see what is happening to these kids. Does it bother you?

When it comes to thin women,? (Answers: 4) (Comments: 0)

Does anyone else think that a size four is *very* small? I know that's the average size for a young woman, but it just seems so outrageous! When I see so many people that are that tiny, I automatically think there is something wrong with at least some of them. I know it's wrong, but...it's just so suspicious. Isn't there supposed to be a large variety of sizes of women? And then, even with that, it seems that if you aren't thin, you're overweight--the in-betweens are rare. Now, there is a big chance that this is just stemming from my experience--I've always been about a size 6 to 8, and the only time I got to a size 4 I had lost so much weight I became unhealthily skinny. Basically, my question is...am I part of a small minority that thinks that the *amount* of petite young women is sort of unhealthy in itself? And, one more, actually....why is it that there are so many overweight children, underweight teens, and overweight adults? I have theories, but if anyone else does, I am more than happy to hear them. Sorry if this offends anyone, by the way. It's just something I've been thinking about for a pretty long while.

Are you more ANTI-formula OR PRO-breastfeeding? (Answers: 6) (Comments: 0)

I was asked the other day if I was more PRO-breastfeeding or ANTI-formula. Now most of you would immediately say that they are one in the same, but I had to think about the question before I responded. Which was I? I am more ANTI-formula than I am PRO-breastfeeding. Granted, formula - a dead substance - has for many years has sustained life, but breastMILK - a LIVING substance - has sustained optimum life since the dawn of time and the first mother put her baby to her breast. For ME it comes down to the breastMILK. It was designed for babies by their mothers and it shouldn't matter if the breastMILK is fed to the baby at the breast or via a bottle. **So what are you? More anti-formula or pro-breastfeeding?** The following reasons came to mind rather quickly as to why *I* am more anti-formula: --Formula is inadequate. There are an estimated 300 some odd nutritious properties/ingredients in Breastmilk. Breastmilk is the STANDARD for optimal infant and toddler nutrition. Formula has about 40 some odd ingredients in it. That is approximately 13% of the ingredients that are in breastmilk. --NO antibodies in formula. Formula is not only nutritionally lacking in comparison to the breastmilk standard, it is immunologically lacking as well. Formula cannot mimic the maternal antibodies that are passed from mother to baby to help protect the baby's new and immature immune system. The human breast customizes antibodies in the milk for the baby to fight whatever pathogen - virus/bacteria/germs- the infant is exposed to its environment. --The ingredients are all synthetic. The ingredients are not made by human body nor are they naturally occuring ingredients from human milk. The base for most formulas is cows milk - a common allergen for MANY babies. The protiens and fats are also LARGER than the ones found in breastmilk - this makes formula harder to digest and it takes longer too. Lactose free formulas - most common is SOY - is inappropriate as well because the protiens and fats are derived from the soybean - a vegetable/legume - and they are not made to be easily digested by infants either. Soy is now becoming a growing allergen in babies and children, too. --Contributes to unhealthy weight gains. Cows milk protiens and fats are designed to feed a baby COW that starts out around 80-100 pounds and is supposed to triple its birthweight the first couple of weeks. And we wonder why there are so many overweight children and adults? It all begins at the bottle of formula (and then compounds the problem with the over processed foods we eat). --Increased risk of Diabetes. By contributing to unhealthy weight gains, formula is putting each child at an increased risk of Type 2 Diabetes - either as a child/teen or as an adult. The formula teaches our bodies the wrong way to break down food particles and leads to problems later in life. --Unsterile manufacturing. If you think that formula is made in clean, germ free white rooms where the employees are dressed in sterile clothing and use the strictest policies to maintain germ-free environments - you are sadly mistaken. The formula is manufactured just like any other product - with the most cost effective method of production - which is always the least ideal and sanitary way. --Recalls/contaminations. Because of the methods of productions and the fact that there is such thing as human error, formulas can be recalled for many reasons. Either there is something hazardous that could be in the lot of formula, or they miscalculated the amounts for the ingredients. SInce the dawn of mass formula production there have been 22-25 SIGNIFICANT recalls of formula for potentially life-threatening situations. Ingredients were either deficient or superpotent that could cause harm to the babies or they had foreign particles/bacteria in them like glass or salmonella. Breastmilk is ALWAYS made in sterile production conditions and can NEVER be recalled. --Undermines mothers' abilities. Samples of formula are often given in the hospital or even mailled to a pregnant mother who registers for a baby item or magazine. They come with information on breastfeeding but implies that the mother's milk might be inadequate or the mother might not make enough of her own milk, that there are alternatives. This sets any new mom up for disaster! Before her baby is even here, she is doubting herself and her body's ability to nourish her baby. She will be more worried about what the formula company said *might* happen that she forgets to relax and have faith in herself and her body. Next thing the mother knows, she is having all those problems she feared and the formula company's information on breastfeeding was what started it. --->Breast MILK is the key. We all have heard the slogans *Breast is Best,* *Human Milk for Human Babies,* and *Babies Were Born to Breastfeed* and all that is well and good. However, many mothers find that feedi This is NOT intended as a debate. I know a person can be Pro-breastfeeding and neutral on formula for their own reasons. I know a person can be against formula and neutral on breastfeeding - maybe they don't like the process in which mass formula is made and therefore use special homemade versions. Best answer goes to the one who can share their feelings as to why they are more one or the other - whether its the same as mine or not.

Why are there so many overweight children? (Answers: 16) (Comments: 0)

Don’t the parents care about their child's health? I have a neighbor whose baby is only 1 and he looks as if he is 3yrs old. The parents think it’s cute that he's is overweight because he has the chubby cheeks. They find it funny and cute but in reality it's not funny, not cute, and not healthy. Should parents be forced to take a health education class? Something needs to be done. Bad parents will always defend other bad parents. This people are always outside drinking beer and they stuff their baby's mouth with puffy cheetos and candy all day. They try to sit him and he falls on his back and they just laugh because he looks like a ball. Just because a one year old can’t defend himself and make better choices on what he eats doesn’t give the parents the right to feed him crap all day because they're too lazy and stupid to feed him healthy foods. People know what’s going on but they pretend to be ignorant so if they want to feed their kids crap then go ahead.
