Causes of Childhood Obesity

Here are some videos to show a different view of the sources of obesity in children. I hope they are helpful in showing the bigger picture. The idea that it is just calories in and/or calories out is not a workable theory and does not explain this problem of epic proportions.
Marketing
Marketing is another noteworthy subject when talking about child obesity. Instead of writing about how marketing affects the childhood obesity rate I would rather have you watch a video about it. This an excerpt from the award winning movie, "The Corporation"
Politics and Profit
Politics has much to do with the choices of food people make and the choices of food available. Politics and profit is also one of the main sources of how food has been adulterated to the point of becoming toxic and synthetic. Despite this, foods are still packaged to look like familiar foods.
Specifically, genetically modified (also known as GMO or Genetically Modified Organism) corn has been used to create almost all the foods we eat. In my pages, "HIgh Fructose Corn Syrup and Belly Fat" and "High Fructose Corn Syrup: Obesity" I write about how High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) a derivative of GMO corn, is used in almost all the foods we purchase today and also has been proven to cause diabetes and obesity.
This video shows how politics play a part in this.
More Politics
This video shows how the government regulators in the USDA are not placed there in our best interest or in the interest of the public health.
All the nutritional information we use is based on what the USDA propagates.
Find out who is in charge of Food and Agriculture in the US. When you see who is in charge of nutrition in the US you start to see a clearer view of fundamental sources of our obesity epidemic.
More of the Causes
of Childhood Obesity
In this series of three videos you will see the global sources of childhood obesity. The causes are hidden in plain sight. These three videos are excerpts from the excellent film called, "Killer At Large."
In these excerpts, you will see the insidious nature of the marketing of large food corporations, the lobbying that is done at government levels, and the trickery used to bypass the decision making process of parents for their children's food choices.
Here you will see that even if a person was taking personal responsibility over they food choices, they are not being given all the facts to make a responsible decision.
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
The next two videos are excerpts from the excellent movie, "Supersize Me." The notable points I want to emphasize is the food in the school. I found it telling how it is selected, how it limits and forces a set of choices for children and again, bypasses the decision-making process of parents.
Part 1
Part 2
To summarize, childhood obesity is not an accident. It is not that children are just getting more lazy. There is an insidious cause of this dangerous epidemic.
The first step to taking control is gaining awareness of the situation.
