Why Chubby Isn’t Funny

Why Chubby Isn’t Funny

We can all remember growing up with kids who were considered cute and funny because they were overweight. We might have teased them and had a good laugh, maybe even called them “Chubby.” But we never thought about them as being unhealthy and needing help. Today, we know better. Obesity is a serious medical issue for both children and adults. At Main Street Hospital, we encourage parents to become more aware and educated about this issue, which affects more than 12.5 million children in America. Talk to your family doctor. Learn as much as you can about nutrition. Visit our website for more information about the medical, educational and nutritional resources you can use to fight this problem. Let’s work together to help our kids beat the problem of obesity. Because chubby isn’t funny anymore: It’s deadly serious.
