From Cutie to Obesity

For most of you, the days of worrying about skinny children are over. The modern concern is the overweight child who eats too much of the wrong foods. Malaysia claims the title of the fattest nation in Southeast Asia, with 44% of our adults obese. Our children do not disappoint either with one out of every seven children obese. Why are our young ones piling on weight, and what can we do to address it?

Dr Nathaniel Viuniski discusses the slippery road from baby fat to obesity.
