Adam, I completely agree with you in that kids who are overweight are missing out. But more important than not being to play outside or walk long distances, being overweight comes with psychological burdens and confidence issues. Also, being overweight at such a young age could ruin a person in the aspect of irreversible medical conditions. Sometimes I wonder how people could let themselves get so big, but after listening to different stories and a variety of perspectives, I can see now. First and for most, all the advertising of food cannot help, but more importantly, are the traumatic occurrences in peoples lives that cause this downward dependence of food. When people use food as a way of comfort, that's where it would probably spiral out of control. I personally have never been overweight but as a lover of all kinds of food, I can see how people get addicted to it. -Kayla Hamilton
