Hello everybody! Hi there! I'm Ricky Simmons. It is so great to be here! I missed you all so much! Hi there! Here you go you special person! I know, it is so great to have me here today!

We have fat children in our classrooms. And we are allowing them, our children to be ugly and obese. But recently I passed a bill in parliament mandating physical education at school because I do not want any child in America to have a childhood like mine. My childhood ... It was taken away from me because I wasn't good enough. But don't worry, I am good enough now. But when I was younger (it was only about 10 years ago... Did I just hear someone say more like 100 years ago. I am so offended (cries). Anyway... When I was a child, at 121 kg I did not think my life would go anywhere and after years of dieting and doing eating disorders, I almost lost my life. And someone asked me this question, 'Do you want to live or do you want to die?' And I chose to live. And I choose that for all of you here today... Because if we don't face this issue then there are going to be deadly consequences. Like dying. …show more content…

Our kids are really obese. I saw very inactive kids yesterday... Using technology. I question them. I mean why weren't they at my new gym. Sweating and stretching with me. But right now these kids aren't exercising, overeating, being depressed. But actually, if anyone's depressed for any reason, whether a relationship has fallen apart or if they are having money problems, wearing shiny wings and a tutu takes you into (Sings) "A whole new world, a world of bright and shining stars."

Childhood Obesity In America Essay

694 Words | 3 Pages

So, when the child/adolescent equal or above the 85% through the 95% range mark on the BMI chart, they are already considered to be overweight and anything beyond the 95% mark is marked obese.
