Yay, gastric bands for 11 year olds. Be sure and give them nose jobs, contact lenses, butt lifts, teeth whiteners, braces, bob their ears, and lighten their hair. We will be having NO pudgy awkward children around here!

In Gary Taubes' book Why We Get Fat he opines that the reason we are now having so many children begin born larger and having weight problems is because the mothers are eating the carb-heavy diet that the governments have been pushing at us, are insulin resistant, and are passing this insulin resistance to their unborn children. These kids are born with the problem and so are heavier right from the beginning.

Now, he points out that this is just a theory that he has and that he has no actual evidence to back it up; but, it sure rang true to me. These kids are now born without a prayer of escaping obesity, if they are continued to be fed on the same heavy carb diet that their mothers are eating.

These kids seem to have a problem, both medically as well as being raised by poor parents. These kids are 100% dependant upon their parents for every meal, every snack, every desert.

Gastric surgery is only attacking the symptom, the problem appears to be a parent who apparently enjoys placing their children in a set of circumstances in which their weight is completely out of control. I’ve been fighting my weight my entire life; but while I was growing up, my parents took an active role in monitoring my food intake, and making certain that my chores were strenuous enough to keep me trim.
