"Obesity" has become an epidemic among Americans childs in society, affecting approximately 13 million Americans childs, as a result of this obesity epidemic is putting future generations on a high risk of having heart dicease. "Does elevated blood pressure in a child put her at risk of a heart attack — now or later? If a chubby child's bad cholesterol numbers revert to normal as she grows up and slims down, does she retain a greater-than-normal likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease? Will the abnormally thickened heart muscle of an obese, sedentary boy correct itself if he becomes a veggie-chomping gym rat, or will it always threaten him with the prospect of chest pain, shortness of breath and sudden death?" (Melissa Healy). These are the questions many people might be wondering about, facts have proved that todays kids are having weights problems because of the fast food restaurants and the unhealthy food they consume each day.
