This was our first Poll Rodeo...Obviously not complete.  However, thanks for responding.  We will update the Q`s and explanations...As for who`s children, ours, Americas children.  The fact is, over the last 30 yrs. the occurrence of over weight children has doubled.  It is estimated that 1 in 5 children in the U.S. is over weight.  As for the other comment by Craig, I strongly disagree.  If anything, the standard needs to be continually adjusted to maintain awareness of a GROWING problem and the decline in health concerns related to children’s obesity.  The National Institute of health and aging systems was flawed.  The overnight fat kids you refer to, were simply already fat and until the standard was updated they were not recognized as a health risk.  The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the standard to determine your ratios.  The previous system was extremely antiquated especially for our children.  Fortunately, by way of professional health care providers, it is now more current.  With respect to my recommended method, its system involves the family and takes Kids Obesity awareness many steps further.  It’s a turn key product that gets the family started within minutes.  The kit includes, just to mention a few: A start to finish road map, fun nutritional education, exercise programs, self-esteem and reward.  Thanks again for your comments…     
   

 

Yes, In my opinion, american and canadian children are becoming more obese. 

The facts are also that there are an incredible number of diabetics children at that moment.  That is awful for this kids.

What about fast food and frozen food... they are related to white sugar, white flour wich doesn`t have any ANY nutritius elements.  Fast food has  a lot of toxic and addictifs ingredients.

Canadian and american children don`t exercise enough.  Computers and games are also the new activities.  Governments doesn`t really care about health people in general. 

But in general for adults that we are the parents: Canadians and americans don`t have really a quality of life concept.  We are a extremelly consumers which put quality of life behind, stress is most of the time how people are acutally feeling.

I`m latin french canadian living  temporarily in Australia and Gooood!  how much australian culture and people have a really quality of life.

How much we should learn from them.  I fall in love with this amasing country and their people... I love Australians!!  

Well, I`m going back next month ....
