bcb, lets try to get on the same page here then - in your mind, what actually defines a problem.
30%? 40%?
Or do you feel that health problems aren't caused by obesity?
Seriously, what's your deal?

I never said that obesity didn't cause health problems. I am debating the prevalence and cause.
In the 1978-2004 study, how did they define obesity?
By simply looking at Canadian kids today, there's no chance that 1:5 is obese.
