i agree that kids should be more active but some ppls mitabolism's will not let thm lose weight once they gain it. my aunt has been dieting and excercising like mad for years to try and lose weight but she still hasnt made much progress. just because someone cant lose weight doesnt mean they need to go and get phychological help.

I myself agree all the way with SteveSlayer, if you cant get up off the couch active for a while, then you have serious issues, as much physical as lack of self-discipline. And I AM one of those people with s knee problem, but i work out daily, usually running, except in the winter I am a wrestler... I am also 15 and 120 pounds, so if you say losing wieght is hard,try going from 120 to 110 every winter, if I can lose ten pounds and keep it off, so can you

 Why do we eat? We eat not because we are hungry?We eat cause we are draw to eatting. Big cooporation like McDonal, Kellog' etc... are using propaganda and scientist to lures people to eat or buy their products. They use cue like color, size and shape to attract certain group of people. For example McDonald paint their resturant bright orange and red, which attractive customer and to make them hungry. Kellog' use colorful assorted box and cartoon to attracts childrens. Fast food also give out toy to make their customer feel satisfied. "Healthy Food" is now a brand on it own and it is a lukative business. But these so-called "heathy food", "low fat", "sugar free" is just an advertisement strategy. Company is replacing sugar with fake sugar that our body doesn't digest or used.

What can the customer do about this? Boycott by stop eatting or buying these "healthy foods" and products, but it will be very hard and long since these foods had become "American Standard" and it a life style. Believer it or not but it is our government that started the "American Standard" of fast food resturant since the 1800s. Our first ever government were the farmer who own huge land and business to grown and sell wheat. The first Food Pyramid were in flavor of the government to sell their wheat which will make wheat most profitable commodity and which eventually make way for fast food resturant that we have today. What can Government do about this? Government should change the Food Pyramid and re-educate  and set an example to the public starting at the Education System.
