Vogue article about 7 year old's weight

Hello, people!!! You complain about having too many obese children.  Then, you complain about them being on a diet.   Yes, 800 calories can be a huge problem for a child with weight issue.  With so many people on the fast food diet, people have forgotten what a normal person should eat.   Hot chocolate should be avoided..a whole meal in a cup (at least out).  She has a hard road in front of her, but the initial struggle is worth it.  She may have saved he daughter from a pre-mature heart attack.   My daughter twirls baton and weight really seems to matter.  Average sized girls have an easier time twirling and their suits fit much better.   I would recommend exploring a sport the child might enjoy.  My daughter has trimmed down and gained muscle along the way.  She has also gained confidence.  I would recommend teaching the child why obesity is a bad thing.  And what opportunities open up with decreased weight.
