that's what i said... wtf is she talking about?
"whenever i look at her, i see diabetes, i see heart disease, blah blah blah"... the girl is 17 and looks normal. she's not even in college yet. besides, you can't be diagnosing anything without any kind of records, history, or lab results... especially if you're not a doctor. by the way, at her age and shape, it's highly unlikely that she's got type 2 diabetes.
this slag is just a lunatic and is spouting off at the mouth and it's dangerous.
also, op, if i remember correctly, cavuto has m.s... i might be wrong, but i think he's got some terminal illness which prevents him, to some extent, from being as fit as, say, shepherd smith.
normal? kids that start off fat are at much higher risk for life long obesity. they've set up their body to be fat.
not true... a lot of kids have "baby fat" that their bodies naturally hold onto until puberty hits. pediatric growth charts can indicate whether a child is obese or not, but puberty is whenever most of the correlations with adulthood obesity can be made.
just speaking anecdotally, i can tell you that it's my experience that most of the skinny people i meet (and have discussed this issue with) were chubby babies and children and most of the heavier people i meet were skinny babies and children. i can't say that skinny kids get fat and fat kids get skinny because i've never heard any studies about that, but i DO know that there are studies that show that kids who grew up skinny with a very high metabolism tend to end up getting a potbelly when they're adults.
those kids that lost weight made up their mind to do something about it. i also know of studies that show that obsese children are more likely to become obese adults. their body is programmed during their pivotal growth gears and expects this fat as its normal level. "Overweight children are more likely to be overweight adults."

the few anecdotal cases of fat children becoming skinny adults are noticed because they are exceptional. as for skinny kids having pot bellies, i think you are thinking of people that gorge themselves and are saved by normal teen metabolism and don't change their diet as adults and pay for it.

Fat teens grow into obese adults: study

The teenage years are key to predicting obesity in adults, according to a 20-year study of children in Australia.
Researchers weighed and measured the heights of nearly 8,500 children who were between seven and 15 years old in 1985. Participants were given followup questionnaires when they were 25 to 35 years old.
In Monday's issue of the Medical Journal of Australia, researchers said girls who were obese were up to nine times more likely to become obese as adults compared with those who were a healthy weight when young.
Boys who were obese were nearly five times more likely to grow up to be obese men, Prof. Alison Venn from the Menzies Research Institute in Hobart and her colleagues said.
"Obesity in childhood was strongly predictive of obesity in early adulthood, but most obese young adults were a healthy weight as children," the team concluded.
The time between adolescence to early adulthood could be an important period to target, they said. Obesity is a risk for diseases later in life, such as cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
"These are times of change in their lives, they are becoming increasingly independent, perhaps their meal times are less regular, perhaps they're cooking for themselves," Venn said.
"So we need to work out better ways to promote healthy eating and physical activity."
