Subject: over weight kids...
Date Posted: 14 August 2004 at 5:07pm
So.... this summer, just like the past 5 years, I worked at a cub scout
camp. Oh-Da-Ko-Ta in SE Wisconsin if anyone cares....
Anyhoo, I was waterfront staff and I noticed that more often than not
the kids were noticably fat/chubby. Now, these kids were
8-11 years old and some of these kids could out weigh some of the
freshmen i have seen at my high school.
At first it didn't bother me, yeah, times change whatever.... but then
I started helping out in the store we have up there. Parents
would walk in with their son and buy them 2 candy bars, a pixy stick,
and an ice cream bar and buy the same or more for themselves.
Now, I don't know about you guys, but when i was a kid my parents
wouldn't walk me into a store and buy me handfuls of candy and ice
cream or whatever else i pointed at. I have seen in the news that
obiesity is a growing problem and I have never really thought about it
as a huge problem, but now having seen really young kids eating this
way... yeesh.
This was in no way to offend anyone who might be over weight... but
just something i noticed this summer and was bothering me. Just
figured the forum could use some discussion.

I'm overweight, just so you know.
On the subject of fat kids:
I think it's because our society ignored the health food trend for like a decade. People are all like "OH NOES J00 NEED TEH SUGAR!!!11".. and now look where we are. People are so scared of carbs that they refuse to eat them.. great way to run out of energy. So in a decade or so we'll have another junk food session, then a health food thing, etc etc. My views anyway.

Yea I see it too often... I work in a Gas Station and i seen a Kid Scarf down poison, and once in a while i will refuse to give kidz under 8 more then 1 Candy Bar. The other Day I seen a kid Eat "2 Corn dogs, a Chicken Breast, and a couple of Chicken Fingers, and a 20oz Pepsi" And I can barley Eat more then 1 Chicken Breast let alone all the other crap he Had... I think that alot of Obessitay comes from the parents either threw Carelessness or Genes, and alot of it also comes from the kid, Instead of picking up a Basketball or something Recreational He picks up a controller to his Favorite Ps2/X-Box game.

I weigh more than a kid should at 13, but I go to La Fitness with my stepdad, because i play lacrosse and football. Its muscle, not fat. But your right kids these days are getting fatter, parents need to learn to say no.

it probley wouldnt hurt for me to lose a couple lbs. i have a big build as it is. i run cross country (not the fastest but i do it for the workout) and am on the raiders team (adventure tranning) at my high school and have always been a little heavy, not because of the way i eat or not from exersise its just the way i've been since i turned 6, my twin brother on the other hand runs the same amount of miles as me and weights 50lbs less and is 4 inches shorter than me (im 6'0) hes faster than i am, but at short distances where just as fast. i agree that young people eat like crap, i cant belive how many kids drink 1-4 sodas a day, i havent drank a soda since july 31st, and how many chips and candy bars this kids eat. In my JROTC class our Major teaches us the importance of eating healthy and how being an athlete is more important for you to be drinking more water, less soda less caffine, less cabination, less sugar filled junk bars. i'll be the first to admit i like ice cream, and a candy bar every now and then, i'll have either a scoup of ice cream or a cand bar a week.
BTW the atkins diet can kill because of lack of sugar in the blood, but having to many carbs can give you diabetes. cut back on carbs but not to much
can some one PM me and tell me the diffrence between to and too. thx

I've also noticed this.
I'm a tkd instructor for kids. A lot of the kids we get are overweight/chubby, even some of the little ones. I've also noticed how un-coordinated most kids are. My conclusion is that kids just don't do anything. Kids need to go outside and kick a ball or throw a frisbee or play baseball or something other than sit on their butts and waste their life at TV and video games. I just get sick looking at these kids.
But I do understand that a lot of it is the parents' fault. Kids eat what their parents feed them and what the parents themselves eat. Parents develope the eating habbits of their children.
I'd type more but I'm tired, so yeah.

put a friggen bra on, jeeze
I thing that fat kids are not only a problem that can lead to them being unhealthy as adults, but it, as it stands now, will cause a degrading of the country in general, and promotes Illegal immagrints to come in to take jobs the fat americans could be working in if they were thin.
Think of it. Lets say 40% of kids are fat (a guess). That means that 40% of the future work force will do it half assed or they will not even be able to do some work, like yard work, or other hard labor jobs. This means illegals can come in and take the jobs from the hard-sitting-arround-and-eatting-bon-bons-all-day and keep them from working. The fat people will proced to live at home and eat, living off of welfare and not doing anyhting except causing people trouble to keep care of them.
That woman who died on her couch from beiong over wieght was a prime example of this-she was not a productive part of society at all, but a drain on all those around her, like a big, pus-filled black hole, sucking in every resource around her.
Old people were at one point and (most) young people will become them if they thin down. I think Ebeneizzer Scrooge said it right when he said "wlel mabey they should die, and decrease the surplus population"

I was but I don't have the money. I just got my Driver License and now I need money for a car and very high car insurence. The car and insurence will cost around $3,000 to $5,000 a year. I can't add a $1,400 paintball gun on top of that because I don't have that much money. I have to settle for the cheaper and uglier Matrix LCD.

Yes some people are bad but its not all the persons fault some times some times its just in there blood.
My self for example. I am 6ft 270lbs. (i have ALWAYS beed over weight)
I eat regualrly
-one bowl of cereal and a class of 1% milk (Brakefast)
-One penutbutter and jam sandwich followed by usually an apple and a orange (lunch)
-Reg stuff (chiken, pasta, bugers, salads) with noting too big (dinner)
Now i can here you guys saying well you must sit at home all day. WRONG.
-I work 11hr shifts 5 days a week as a mechanic (BUSTIN MY REAR END)
-i watch aybe a combined total of 5hrs of TV a week
-i spend most my free time working on cars for friends/family for some extra $$
-I at one point in time rode a bike 20kms 3 times a week (i dont anymore as i totaled my bike and never bought a new one)
-I spend alot of time out doors on the weekends swimming, yard
maintanece my house and grandparents house, PIANTBALL, tinkering with
my truck .
- OH and i spend some time here and a diesel forum.
_ I also do not smoke do durgs or even drink AT ALL
I seem to have a benifit in my weight at my job as i find many things
eisier than my co workers. I have less trouble lifting than most
guys at work mind you i am also the youngest at work too and only 1 of
the 2 guys under 50 years old.

I read this in a Health book once but im not sure if its true...
The Reason Skinny(Not ripped 6-packs) people can eat there poison and not gain a pound is because when they Store 'Excess Fat' There body can burn it 10x easier then a Obees person. If a Skinny person Easts a Hamburger Around 600 Calories (Guess) and a over-weight person Eats the Hamburger The skinny person might gain very little Excess Fat due to His body is Constently burning the Excess Calaories... where the obees person will Gain weight due to, He Has many more Calories to burn and they cant burn them all at once so his calaories will turn to Fat cells due to Excess Calaroies the body was try to burn before consumption.

There is a HUGE difference in being overweight and fat. I am 5'
9" and im 135 yet im a little chubby. We are not
"overweight". Overweight for our height is like 150-170
(guessing) but it changes for weight lifters and people who have alot of muscle mass because muscle weighs more then fat.

werd. Both my parents are rather round, and only my dad was an athlete in his younger years, but it was as a tackle for football.
Guess what, i am much healthier than most...if not all(cept for 5 people on the cross country and swim team) people i know. I swim 6 miles a day when i am in season for swimming, and run 2 miles everyday. I have to watch what i eat, but its not that hard, and i dont eat nothing but healthy stuff, but i dont eat teh crap junk food you see the 150 pound 6 year olds you guys are talking about.
And you dont know how much i agree that kids should get out and do things like throw a frisbee or play soccer ro something like that, bcause it does way to much good for how much you do.

I'm not thin, I'm a little chubby, I'm not fat.
I have a LOT of muscle mass, which is why I'm 5'5" 155.
I can lift a hell of a load, and I do nothing.
I have a VERY slow metabolism, due to my family's metabolism and asthma to boot, but I am the thinnest person in my family.
I also have a very large frame. My shoulders are very broad (broader than my father's, and he is 50 years old, works out a whole whole lot).
If I worked out, I could be ripped and all that junk. The thing is, I don't really care.
What am I gonna do being able to bench 150+ lbs? I'm gonna be a friggin' computer programmer when I get a job. What muscle do you need to do that?
It's more of a lack of motivation. I know i'm going to stay alive, I barely ever get sick, what's the point of being fit?

see... it is a totally different situation if you are over weight, yet
still active. It is when I see a 10 year old kid get winded by
walking up a hill while trying to drink a mountain dew... then complain
at lunch because we don't have chocolate milk or cookies that
day...
