3. "I know some low income kids are overweight but"

One thing that I think they refuse to address is an interesting phenomena that is probably helping to trigger the obesity.

I.e., many of these children may be born premature, and with "low birth weight". So the doctors tell the mothers to pack on the calories to get them to some (IMHO random mess) of a "weight norm" for their "infant age", where they whip out a ridiculous chart to show where they "should be".

HOWEVER, as the research has progressed over the decades, they have discovered that certain things can "trigger" changes in how the body responds to hunger and food and metabolism, and this has often been found to happen at that toddler age, where it pretty much "sets them" for life.

So "fattening up" the low birth weight/underweight infant/toddler may ultimately result in an obese child.
