As a doctor I am seeing an increasing rise of children having a BMI of 27 and more. When I was a child , my peers used to be fit and healthy.
The crucial points we need to talk amongst ourselves:
1. Obesity leads to diabetes ,hypertension ,peripheral vascular diseeases, fatty liver etc etc etc
2. It slows your mental growth by making you lazy and sleepy all the tjme
3. It makes you follow a vicious cycle of eating and overeating
4. It makes you inactive, and inactivity at childhood makes you the same in adulthood
5. Parenting doesn't mean you give your child fast food,smartphone and the internet.
6. Let's be honest, it definitely shortens their lifespans
7. Body positive movement is as bit fine till it reaches obesity. No being obese is not body positive, it means killing yourself slowly. Let's not teach your kids that
8. Obesity is reversible,unlike AIDS.
