It is sad. I see it daily, at work, in public and in my personal life.

My youngest is an Army captain, his wife an army nurse. They both grew up active and have no issues with weight. Their sons are skinny, muscled and very active. My daughter is naturally skinny, a Tae Kwan Do black belt, and smart about her food. No issues there.

The plethora of fast food, pre packaged food, overly busy lives, 400 calorie "coffee" drinks, energy drinks, and more sedentary lives than previous generations are all a problem. My wife's dad was a carpenter/contractor. He didn't exercise a day in his life, but his work was physical every day.
