I don’t buy this, but I think something un-natural is going on wrt: obesity. I used to eat like a horse when I was younger and stayed rail thin. I also wasn’t that active and watched lots of TV. Now, I know kids who eat right, avoid sodas, exercise and are still huge. I can’t help but wonder if it has to do with the growth hormones injected into livestock.

Except of course, livestock aren’t injected with growth hormones. Maybe you should get to know some farmers and find out how they really grow and raise food.

It probably has more to do with the livestock that children devour. For most people, particularly children, one 3 oz serving of meat is enough for a day, and they probably shouldn’t do that every day. But now we have kids who eat meat at breakfast, lunch and dinner, and often more than 3 oz each meal.

And, ps, who ever thinks cheese sticks are a healthy snack? Why were those even invented?

I’ve heard that high fructose corn syrup is one ubiquitous ingredient that is contributing to obesity. It’s hard to find any sodas, fruit drinks, or anything else that doesn’t contain this obnoxious substance.
