Thanks for sharing your post. There are a couple of things I want to share my views on. First of them is your thirteen-year old obese son. This is very common in America teenagers currently. “Today, about one in five school-aged children (ages 6-19) has obesity” (CDC.gov). I think we should create awareness on the need for children to eat healthy and exercise regularly. I remember a parent saying her obese 9 years’ daughter would reduce weight when she grows after she was alerted on her daughter’s excess weight gain. Unfortunately, some parents think weight gain in childhood is normal and should be allowed. What they don’t realize is that, children form a habit in eating junk fast foods and sodas which eventually ends up affecting future diet
