In reply to Myschly. I agree: The nutritional needs of an overweight kid are different from those of the lanky boy sitting beside him. Giving them all the same is shortsighted. However, just as you say, all this meaning well leads nowhere, when the environment children spend most their time in, home, basically counteracts it.

Yeah I’m kinda ticked off about the fact that they only have low-fat milk at kindergartens in Sweden now. I mean, regular milk is much better, more flavor, and they’re in kindergarten! At a 5-year olds only department where I worked, we had a kid who was really overweight.

Is the low-fat milk gonna counteract his parents feeding him pizza & Mcdonalds all the time? Hells no. Even though he was forced to eat more vegetables than the other kids, he didn’t loose weight. It wasn’t until his parents got their heads out of their asses (they had been warned since he was 3, and he was one miserable kid, mood-swings, aggression problems etc), nothing changed.

2 weeks after his parents changed his diet, he started asking for vegetables, and was much happier, mood swings & aggression went down.

Lesson from the story? Some parents you just want to punch in the mouth, and until you do so (verbally), you can feed kids nothing but water & vegetables at kindergarten. The overweight kids will still be overweight, but the normal kids will be malnourished.

In reply to Canadianguy. You know what's funny? Before I went to the US this May I thought when I got there I would finally have a Twinkie - the junk food that even has websites dedicated to it. And then I forgot about it! Argh!

In reply to Renée A. Schuls-Jacobson. Well, the big question is: How much of it is the sow's fault?

People are very misinformed about how to lose weight. They are also not informed about proper portion size. We eat like sows in the US. If anyone has ever traveled abroad and thought, “Wow, this is really a tiny piece of meat! This is dinner” Um, yeah, that is probably the we should be eating here in the land of excess.

Can’t wait to read more. And thanks for your comments.
