Childhood Obesity
In the last few decades, childhood obesity rates have been skyrocketing. According to the documentary Fed Up, at the rate that we are currently going, within the next two decades 95% of all Americans will be overweight or obese and by 2050, one out of every three Americans will have diabetes. Obesity is an eating disorder that can vastly impact your life. Being obese puts you at more risk for more life threatening diseases such as heart disease and kidney failure. It is devastating to see how many kids worldwide are now obese. The highest malnutrition death rate is from obesity, and it is saddening to read articles about young kids dropping dead in the middle of the day just because of being overweight. All of those kids could have accomplished so much, had food companies not tried so hard to hide fat inducing ingredients such as sugar, trans fats and carbohydrates and not have made those kids so drastically overweight that their heart stops working.
