Fat kids make me sad – Obesity Prevention in Children
Trust me, I get it. For those of us who are prone to be overweight, it is really, really tough to slim down or stay trim in the first place. I guess that’s what upsets me so much when I see overweight children. I’m not talking about pudgy kids. Lots of kids are pudgy and […]
