RW, > Again I'm not taking about celebrities... I'm talking about looking up to other kids that are jocks. Somehow I can't see the obese kid looking up to the best pitcher on his high school team. Probably wrong. Well, it's complicated. I think high school these days is much more defined by cliques than by who's popular and who's not. Sure, the high school jocks get the most girls and the cheerleaders get the most guys, but the majority of high school students are just comfortable within their own circle of friends. Some of them play video games all day, some play basketball or street hockey, some start up garage bands, some love to skateboard and listen to punk rock music, some get piercings and dress completely goth, etc. There's no simple answer to the question of why our kids are becoming heavier and heavier. It's most likely a byproduct of our post-modern culture where everything is taken for granted. Tenchusatsu
