Sometimes people use the term "overweight" for children, rather than "obese" because it's less stigmatizing.
Of course.It is sad to se people obese but seeing childre break my heart.This might be the reason why obese children are usually called overweight
I am really struggling with obesity  It is so hard to lose weight That's too bad. Obesity may negatively affect a person's heatlh. Yes.  And it seems to be getting worse every year In fact, the US has the highest obesity rates in the world, though other industrialized nations are also seeing increases. Yes other countries are having this problem as well For example, in France obesity is a health issue. I thought the french ate more healthy food than the US I wouldn't know, though some East Asian countries use a lower value to define obesity. Yeah, the term "obese" is maybe somewhat arbitrary.
