About half the young people in America are heavier than they should be. That’s because they eat the wrong food, or they eat too much, or too often, or all three. American doctors keep warning about ‘overweight’ kids. However a lot of habits are very hard to change. Fast food restaurants, for example, are as popular as ever, at all times of the day, Hotdogs, Hamburgers and French fries are still the most popular things to eat. The problem is that they are high in calories, and fat. Another problem is to encourage children and teenagers to eat their greens. But eating too much is not the only reason why people get fat.
