When I first visited America as a teenager, I was shocked by how big people were compared to Brits. In more recent visits I'm shocked at their super-size. British people have probably caught up with how I first saw a lot of American people and if we keep on eating fast food, sugar-laden drinks, and American type diets, ten years from now its not going to be uncommon to see super-sized people over here.

Children, even babies are being diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Its now the norm to see podgy six-year-olds.

Before I get shouted down, I know there are illnesses and medication that can pile on the pounds. My niece is on female hormones because she has no pituitary gland and the side effects of that is obesity. She's bullied at school because of her weight gain which is not her fault but then its not the fault of a podgy child who has no health condition either.

I think its something we need to openly talk about because obesity really is becoming an epidemic.
