What are the causes of obesity in children? A third of people in Europe, North and South America are dying from cancer, and half are dying from heart attack, and it’s spreading rapidly around the world. But it’s worse than that; chronic disease, due to obesity and poor diet, is hitting people at a younger age, as the years progress. Our children are becoming chronically ill young adults, who are destined to extend their life by medicine, in pain and misery, without the good quality of life they deserve. So, is child obesity child abuse? In November 2011, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and was told if I didn’t have it cut out or radiated. I was terminal. I was at the brink. I started to research, and found alarming information about cancer and heart disease statistics that aren’t public knowledge. I found hundreds of natural so-called cures for cancer and heart disease. Your body is a complex machine, capable of handling any disease, provided it is in optimum condition. For your body to be in optimum condition, you have to drink the right fluid, eat the right food, and keep moving. I began to realise that adults have choices with food drink and exercise. Children, however, don’t have those informed choices. They eat what they are given, drink what they are given, and copy their parents. This abuse of children creates child obesity. Through ignorance and poor lifestyle, we are abusing our children. The damage that is being caused to a child’s body at such an early age, is creating long-term disease problems at a very early age. Unwittingly, most parents are abusing their children by feeding them badly. This book is not meant to blind and bore the average person with statistics and science. This book is written in lay-man’s terms, for the masses to understand what is happening to our children, and themselves, with the food they eat.
