According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), the problem of childhood obesity in the United States has grown considerably in recent years. Between 16 and 33 percent of children and adolescents are obese. Obesity is among the easiest medical conditions to recognize but most difficult to treat. Unhealthy weight gain due to poor diet and lack of exercise is responsible for over 300,000 deaths each year. The annual cost to society for obesity is estimated at nearly $100 billion. Overweight children are much more likely to become overweight adults unless they adopt and maintain healthier patterns of eating and exercise......

Yada, yada, yada. The picture tells the whole revolting story. "Tubby, tubby, two-by-four, can't get through the bathroom door, so you went on the floor, licked it up...." I get physically ill just looking at him. How about putting on a freakin' shirt, for the love of God?!? Please also ban this fatso from all McDonald's, like the Vegas casinos do with card counters. And would a little exercise for the young butterball be the end of the world? Have him chase after a donut on a stick if that's what it takes. Just do something - this is gross!
