The health of American children is so much poorer than in the past

Nonsense. Its worse on a few measures, but your missing a sense of perspective, its better on most.


Read the chart, Tim. In just one very important parameter, today's children are in serious trouble.......in just five years, the percentage of children who are overweight has gone up 5%:

Indicator HEALTH4: Percentage of children ages 6–17 who are overweight by gender, selected years 1976–2004


That's a very troubling and significant change. And obesity leads to other disease.

So please, save your nonsensical posts for some other, less informed thread.
