Yes there is. We need to get kids more active. Kids spend too much time watching TV and playing video games. They should spend more time playing outside. Fast food is also a problem, it is high in fat with little nutrition.

If their weight is a health issue, then yes, a properly supervised diet and exercise program is okay. I would also advise that the child get counseling as they need to find out why they are overweight in the first place and learn better habits. If they are 5 pounds overweight or something, then NO. I'd say just get them up and away from the TV and PC. Good luck.

I have a huge blog what it's like to be overweight.  There are some things from my childhood.  Not everything is tagged so you'll have to search or just read.

I am assuming YOU don't have a weight problem. In case your ignorance is true and not just stupidity I am going to tell you a few medical facts.There are some people that are overweight because of what they eat i will not deny that but there are also people that suffer from disorders like poly ovarian syndrome and thyroid disorder that causes them to be overweight. Now if you want to reword your question and offer to ban fatty foods I would agree but the question you ask is rude and just downright shows me how ignorant you are.  You are offensive and I hope your children face weight problems growing up so that you will have to learn instead of being ignorant.  By the way I'm not overweight nobody in my family is.  But i would really like to make a tax for stupid people like you

Well, here are a few:\n1) You are trying to regulate the American family.  What's next, taking away their TV, their car and the rest of their rights?\n2) Most kids will grow out of it as hormones kick in during adolescence.  [Not really true, and the damage is happening already - I didn't say it was a GOOD argument.]  :o)\n3) When the parents can't prevent obesity in themselves, what makes you think they will be able to do it for their kids?  If they have no self-control, or poor habits, the kids will just follow along.\n4) The problem is not with the parents but with the media, which pushes fast-food in commercials right and left.  Get rid of the commercials and ads, and the parents won't need to do anything.\n\nIf would help your cause if you could find facts to support these.  However, given that they are pretty weak, you may just have to go on your persuasiveness alone.\n\nGood luck!
