Official: obesity risk to half of all children

The government has admitted for the first time that almost half of all children will be dangerously overweight by 2050 if drastic action is not taken to halt the growth in childhood obesity.

Revealing the true scale of the obesity epidemic, Ed Balls, the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, said the number of children in the high risk category was rising at a worrying rate.

'If that trend continues, by mid-century we'd be getting close to half of all children classified as obese,' he said.

From The Guardian, though we've seen similar in enough US papers.

We know why they're so alarmed.

When we chubby kids finally outnumber you skinny kids who teased us mercilessly, there will be hell to pay. Oh yes.
