’s protracted disruption of in-person schooling, sports and other activities is leading to weight gain that could have long-lasting impacts on children’s health.
, among other health concerns. “We’re seeing a lot of elementary school-aged kids who are gaining 20 to 30 pounds in a year,” said Hai Cao, a pediatrician and owner of South Slope Pediatrics in Brooklyn, N.Y. Brittany Wilson, a physician assistant with Island Kids Pediatrics on Staten Island, N.Y., said the pandemic seems to have accelerated weight gain among patients who were already overweight. Children 6 to 12 years old seem to be gaining the most.,” Ms. Wilson said. “They miss their friends. A lot of them aren’t doing as well academically. With depression also comes weight gain. They’re bored, and I think they’re comfort-eating.
In fact snacking and garbage eating have reduced by 90% + Totally depends on parenting
Can't have an obesity problem if Americans can't afford to eat.
Almost like the response to covid will end up killing more people than covid.
It is NOT the pandemic doing this, it is our stupid REACTION to the pandemic which is causing this child abuse! Please get this straight!!!
I did my research and I must confess no one handles business like you do, gigsfrid am privilege to work with you.
Pandemic keeps on giving
So no responsibility on the parents/caregivers at all?
Go Confidently in the direction of your dreams and remain consistent, persistent and resilient...don’t decrease the Goal rather increase the effort !! Life gives you what you put in it. Success is a choice is not a luck gigsfrid
Thanks, . They actually stopped selling life insurance coverage for children altogether. Our children are just doomed all around. Great.

Very good.. Time to buy nestle & pepsico 😂
But hey at least the teachers unions are happy science
I had a $100 bet with colleagues that admin would not mention PE and nutrition during any of our “staff” meetings this year. As of now they owe me $100.
Tell the freaking parents to stop feeding them shitty food and letting them play Xbox while they watch Fox News!
Wow what a break through in news.
very sad
But hey, let’s keep closing things like schools and youth sports and travel leagues... all because of, ya’ know, Covid. The long term damage being done psychology and emotionally to today’s youth is currently incalculable and the true effects won’t be known for years 🙏🤷🏼♂️
Let the kids play.
Maybe they should bring back PE
I'm sorry is this supposed to be breaking news? Don't go outside, don't go to school. I truly believe most of the government read a book about raising Veal. No wait, they bought it on Amazon that was printed in China. Also sent the book 1984
Obesity in kids is not about whether they exercise or not, it’s about what they eat. The mainstream food in the US is extremely sweet, unnecessarily so. A few small diet changes would work wonders and kids wouldn’t get obese from not working out a few months.
We’ve definitely been more hands on with our kids’ physical fitness. Going for PR’s, making a game out of it.
What is worse obesity or the fact you are facing a huge crisis with 20 odd million covid patients with long haul symptoms
