On the topic of fat kids.

I am always noticing how big people are getting of late but I just recently had this thought. If our food is getting healthier and our population is growing so fast, why are all these kids getting so fat? The food was supposedly worse when I was a child, we didn't have as much knowledge of fats and carbohydrates, the Atkins generation was still decades away. The kids in my school were chubby, or a bit flabby but even the kids we called fat were, by todays standards, bulimic. My mom would feed us bacon, pancakes, eggs and top it off with some form of beef or other and that was a small breakfast. You can't finger point at inactivity because I was a down right sedentary as a child. I would do anything to avoid being overly physically active, yet I was was chubby in the baby fat way and nothing worse. Snacks in my youth were laden with calories and trans fats with next to no protein value, plus saturated fat was never spoken of in the cookie and apple pie world. The fattest kid sixth grade with me was a lad named Jerry, who, though overweight grew out of it during summer break. The foods we have now, in comparison to those days, are relatively healthy but the kids are just ridiculously fat now. prepubescent boys and girls across the country are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes all the time. How is this all possible in a world that is trying to be so healthy? Unless it is all a lie. Maybe food was better back then and this whole fattening the kids thing is a plot by large gimmicky weight loss clinics to keep themselves out of the red for a few more decades. On the other hand maybe since Darwinism is taking such a drastic back seat in our world, the week unhealthy fat gene is finally over breeding and a few panthers let lose near our local schools would help trim the national fat. Maybe our planet is a breeding ground for an alien food supply and in another ten years we will have a" V" episode taking place right before our eyes. For whatever reason this is all happening all I can think is that it just doesn't make sense. In a world that is ravaged by starvation and over population, how can all these American kids be so damn fat. It doesn't add up so I am putting it on my conspiracy theory list and saying the government is to blame. After all, the morbidly obese are easy to control and don't have the energy to fight back. Twinkie all around boys and girls.
