response: I have no clue, myself. That said, excess body fat in children that affects their health is called childhood obesity.
original_response: Not nearly at all, basically any country with processed foods is affected though. Childhood obesity is the worst, kids cant control having excess body fat if the parents just give them whatever.
history: Obesity is the number one problem now days. It's going to kill more people then cancer. Is that so? I know of obesity as an excess of body fat to the point that it can have a negative effect on a person's health. It seems like I'm seeing more and more very heavy people at younger and younger ages. Well, it is being cited more often as one of America's major health issues. Being Diabetic is no joke. No one wants to loose their feet. Yikes! I'm aware that diabetes mellitus is associated with nerve disorders. That's horrible. I don't think the rest of the world have the issues with Obesity as we do.
knowledge: Childhood obesity is a condition where excess body fat negatively affects a child's health or well-being.
