PARENTS are winning the war on childhood obesity, putting a stop to the
dramatic rise in the rate of overweight kids.
.
Experts believe the childhood obesity epidemic has been overstated, with
the rate plateauing more than a decade ago after parents started heeding
the health warnings.
.
Statistics reveal children cut back on soft drinks and started eating more
fruits and vegetables.
.
Obesity expert and University of South Australia Professor Tim Olds says
the relentless scaremongering about overweight children is not based on
the evidence.
.
"I think the media and public health authorities are getting carried away,
there is a lot of self-interest here," he says.
.
"If you've made your life obesity research you want to create a sense of
crisis because the next grant depends a lot on people thinking obesity is
the biggest issue affecting modern society," he says.
.
Between 1985-1995 the proportion of overweight and obese 7-15 year olds
almost doubled to 21 per cent and alarmed experts were predicting one in
three kids would be fat by 2025.
.
But in the 13 years between 1995 and 2004 overweight and obesity rates in
kids crept up by just four points to 25 per cent.
.
And then the growth halted altogether.
