There's an article making the rounds, about a British teenager who has lost his eyesight because for years he ate nothing but Pringles, white bread, and fries , and hardly anything else. His optic nerve just gave out, and now there are reports saying his hearing is going, too. That kid is an extreme case (his identity is being protected so all we know is, he's from Bristol ;  we don't know if he's obese , overweight, or even "skinny fat", on that awful diet), but extrapolating from him to today's children  makes me feel a cold chill run down my spine. Just WHERE will this end-? Can things get even worse than an overweight/obese level of 70%, and an "overfat" level of 90%? What will happem to those kids you describe, in another decade or two? Hell, there have already been people under 21 die from obesity complications ; not many but even one should be a wakeup call for today's parents.
