That has not changed. The way obesity is measured has changed.
Hmmmm. I wonder if it has anything to do with a Weight Watcher
executive being on the panel that come out with the new guidelines?
Naw. Can't be.
Yah, Weight Watchers is in business to sell packaged meals so I don't doubt
there might be some evil there.
But FWIW, I was looking at an old (1970) high school class photo the other
day and noticed out of 100 kids only 3 were noticeably overweight.
Compare that to the typical class photo today and you'll see at least 50%
of the kids are overweight.
The actual numbers haven't really changed. What has changed
it is the way it is define.
Don't use the press as a source. Wait till the next time
you are stuck (curses!) behind a school buss unloading tons
of youngins and see if the ration is any different that
your remember as a kid
