While doing some research for my project, I came upon this video, Childhood Obesity Epidemic, which highlights a specific obesity trend observed in children. The video includes a mini interview with an eating disorder specialist, Dr. Polly Rost, who points out that our growing trend of obesity starts at an early age. Lifestyle changes over the years, along with television and other technological advances have created a more sedentary environment.

After seeing this video, I felt that it did a great job of outlining the American perspective. I also really liked the "shock factor"; it's hard to believe that there are kids out there today who may weigh twice or even three times what I weighed at their age. Thoughts like those really hit home and make you wonder about the future.
