CDC Issues Diabetes Warning for Children
CDC: 1 in 3 Children Born in 2000 Will Become Diabetic Unless Habits Change


The article talks about the increase in children suffering from type 2 diabetes which at one time was concidered an adult disease. The article does mention that losing weight can help lower the risk for diabetes. You think instead of just warning that children will develop diabetes the CDC would start recomending a reduction of sugars in childrens diets and maybe give thier sacred pyramid a closer look.

It would be great if they would also review the school lunch program. Ketchup is not a vegetable, I don't care what Reagan said. From what I remember of school lunches you got a small samwich or something, then kids could choose if they wanted more. On the side, white bread and margerine.
