Could it be chemicals in our food, growth hormones, excess sugar? The cause of obesity it not as obvious as we would like to believe and it certainly is even harder to cure. <br /><br />Punishing struggling families by putting overweight children in foster care is absurd. What's next, incarcerating people to make them lose weight? I'm sure the prison-industrial complex will be all for it!maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067284504038707207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-50052971247231546402011-11-28T09:57:11.332-06:002011-11-28T09:57:11.332-06:00That last point about the pizza-as-vegetable is re...That last point about the pizza-as-vegetable is really the crux of the matter. My first thought after that came out (the pizza thing) was that none of the children of members of congress have to eat free school lunch. Why do these stories about the obesity crisis in the U.S. NEVER address the fact that poor people are more likely to be obese and that addressing wealth disparity may go further to addressing health problems than anything else?<br />The very idea that minority and poor children "might" be disproportionately placed into foster care is ridiculous. There is no "might" about it. Minority children are already targeted for foster care at ridiculously disproportionate rates.<br />If the government cared about the health of the poor it would spend more than a dollar on a school lunch.LilySeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812905445813679050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-56417872876135222292011-11-28T06:31:44.372-06:002011-11-28T06:31:44.372-06:00Thanks, Helene -- it's fixed now!Thanks, Helene -- it's fixed now!malindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233439015219192874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-731833227004920902011-11-28T03:30:30.075-06:002011-11-28T03:30:30.075-06:00You need to fix your second link.You need to fix your second link.Helenenoreply@blogger.com
