Paying for gyms for obese children

South Korea plans to help obese children pay for health club membership and other activities that can help them lose weight.

Health ministry official Chun Myung-sook said the rate of childhood obesity had tripled over the past three years due to a changing diet higher in fatty foods and a more sedentary lifestyle.

Under the government plan, elementary school students whose body mass index indicates obesity will be able to receive up to 40,000 won ($33.58) a month to help them bring their weight down.

"Kids won't be able to waste the money on eating sweets. We will give them electronic vouchers that can only be used in designated places," Chun said.

Costs to the government and the economy related to childhood obesity were 2 trillion won in 2006, the ministry said, making the voucher program cost effective.

    Hey everyone google: Howard Stern Harlem Voters for Obama and listen to that. They took all of McCains views and acted like they were Obamas and people said they loved those views (b/c they thought they were Obamas but they were McCains) and they even said would you be happy with Sarah Palin being your Vice Pres. if Obama wins and they said YES! THEY WOULD LOVE THAT! THAT IS SHE QUALIFIED. ITS ALL OVER YOUTUBE TOO!!!!!!!!!! Check IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That is just plain mean Perez! That baby if not fat and it is really shallow for you to say that!



  3. 3

    first



  4. 4

    Oh that baby is just to precious!!



  5. 5

    hey that's a really good idea. why doesn't the USA do something like that?!



  6. 6

    Why would you say something like that? Maybe he has an underlying condition. You of all people should be a little more tolerant of overweight people Perez! Shame on you! I wanted to give this little guy a hug, not judge him by his weight! Pick on the celebrities, not innocent kids!



  7. 7

    You're an asshole, Perez. You should realize that little boy is sick, he's not overweight from eating. You of all people should know what obesity from overeating looks like. Or don't you remember what you looked like last year?



  8. 8

    huh? Wathcu talk'n aboot!

    People in the comments for that video were saying the boy had leukemia or cancer…and now Perez has just told him to lose weight. I'm actually speechless now lol that was sensitive of him.

    I think this is a good idea.. I truthfully think there should be low-price gyms/ health centers EVERYWHERE.. it may encourage people to live healthier lifestyles, gym membership prices around here are outrageous.. Fitness equiptment in general is outrageous, if you don't have that much money to kick around it sucks that the most you could do is buy some crappy dvd and attempt to do it everyday… I think everyone who wants to should have the ability to go to the gym, take fitness classes, etc. Some people can't afford to pay atleast $100 a month to get in there on the regular..



  11. 11

    Alba's baby is so cute, not fat, besides I like fat babies



  12. 12

    perez, do you not know anyone with a baby? Healthy babies are chunky…they cant even sit up, let alone excercise. This baby may have a funky name…but she is 100% adorable! Just because you hate jessica doesnt mean her baby ever did anything to you, really….grow up!



  13. 13

    And on the comment about the "fat kid"… it's bad enough this fucking kid's parents would humiliate him like that and make a video that's posted everywhere… I could see if it was your child and you were just doing it for you and other family members, but to leave him open to the general public to insult like that, when it's obvious with so many cold heartless people in the worl that it's bound to happen, is just plain ignorance! Then you have the audacity, knowing you have million of hits each day, to post the video up knowing how it will most likley be taken by the majority of pure assholes your site seems to draw in, the way you made it sound like it was "oh so cute" on the other post, I thought maybe for once in your life you were trying to be nice and not a sarcastic asshole… The fat comment on the poor kid just makes me realize that was obviously not your intention.. so not only to you leave this poor kid open to millions to criticize him, but you feel the need to mention him and your post again calling him fat in a post that talks about helping overweight children in South Korea, which obviously is no where near where that child is from.. you should be ashamed of yourself sometimes P!



  14. 14

    whats uppppppppp



  15. 15

    Arent you fat as all hell perez? maybe you should look into joining



  16. 16

    Re: lagirl If you click on "this kid" you will see that he wasn't talking about Jessica's baby, he was talking about the kid singing in the previous video he posted, why the hell he felt the need to post a picture of Jessica Alba and her perfectly healthy daughter with this article though, is beyond me! I have seen much chubbier little babies than hers, that's for dayum sure!

    WHY IS JESSICA ALBA'S BABY UP THERE??? SHE'S A BABY FOR GOD'S SAKE SHE'S SUPPOSE TO BE CHUBBY!!!!!



  18. 18

    Perez thats totes harsh!
    just cause you hate her dont take it out on her baby!
    thats just mean!



  19. 19

    Perez you're an ass.
    Why would you make fun of children that are over weight?



  20. 20

    That is a picture of a healthy baby. You should be ashamed of yourself.



  21. 21

    thats mean, she is just a baby. She is adorable. I think babies are cuter when they are chubbier.

  22. Aimee says – reply to this


    22

    The only reason the her cheeks look slightly chubbier is because of the shadows.



  23. 23

    Of course the kids in south korea are getting obese. They sit all day in school then go to hog wan (more school) after school. They don't have time to run around and play like kids should. Add this to the influx of western foods and BOOM obesity.

    alba's baby is a little cutey!

    hey, maybe if schooling wasn't so copetative in south korea, the kids would actually have time to sleep and exercise. ask the average acadmey high schooler how much sleep she gets and i'm willing to bet she'll say 5 hours a night.



  25. 25

    What kind of a shitty person makes fun of peoples children even if you don't like something the parents have said….you really are a piece of shit…..but you know what Perez Jessica Alba get the last laugh….you are just a mean nasty fat little boy



  26. 26

    Aww, both the baby and the little boy are cute :)



  27. 27

    Slow down on the noodles, to many carbs.



  28. 28

    That's really mean perez… okay that you don't like alba but do you have to pick on a newborn . Think your blog is assume but that's a new low. .. don't you think??????



  29. 29

    Low blow! Cute kid



  30. 30

    Harsh! You wouldn't say that about one of 'saint' Jolie's kids. Just cos u don't like the mum, not the kids fault. The kids not fat anyway, actually pretty cute, but even if she was as an ex and prob future fatty urself, should you really go there?!



  31. 31

    Dude, it's a BABY! I know ur not a fan of jessica alba, but shit, pick on her not her ADORABLE baby!



  32. 32

    Why put a BABY with this story?? There's something wrong with you.



  33. 33

    It is blatantly obvious that the only reason you lost weight was due to low self esteem, having to pay to get laid, and having no one love you (mainly due to your personality). I also think a part of that is because you enjoy being a prick to people, however you don't like to have people throw it back in your face. Perez (who is an adult and gorges on crap food) makes fun of a child, who is fed by their parents, and can't help their health problems. Now that you have lost weight, you feel like you have free reign, well you don't. You will always be that pathetic kid at heart, the one that didn't have talent, personality, etc…..but you weaseled in by gossiping and betraying, the lackey so to speak. Unfortunately though, it shows that you have gone beyond that when you are cruel to children. Are you reinacting the powerful position you didn't inhabit as a child? I sincerely hope to God no one allows you near kids, you are disgusting when it comes to children, you really are. Maybe that's why it's only the future D listers that care about you….need you to keep them and their names going. I'm sure you thought this was was hilarious when you wrote it in your lonely little house all covered in pink shag carpeting with your mother waiting on you hand and foot….but was it in the end? Are we going to see some bitter little video footage of Perez acting all tough and trying to reclaim his lost dignity?



  34. 34

    YOU should really look into it perez!



  35. 35

    this baby is absolutely beautiful……you on the other hand are beyond help………perez take a look in a mirror.you are so without class.



  36. 36

    Outta line to run that copy with that photo. Not cool.



  37. 37

    omgggg Perez I looove u soo much…..but that was just plain mean That baby is sooooo cute!!!!!



  38. 38

    thats pretty low
    shes a fucking baby, kinda early to begin with the the "she's too thin, she's fat"

    and take a look at yourself
    maybe you should be hitting up the gyms



  39. 39

    wow, this is low.

    that little boy in the video is suffering from the side effects of cancer treatment, that is why he looks bloated, it is so sad that you would make fun of someone who is sick like that when it is not even their fault. cancer affects so many people and many of us either know someone who is battling with it right now or someone who has died or someone who has survived. :(



  40. 40

    Being a fat ass as a kid Perez you should be a tab bit more sensitive. And I think it's a good thing to help overweight and obese kids anyway possible. I say a lot of mean shit on here but children are off limits. And are you insinuating that her baby is fat? If so you proved once again that you're an idiot.



  41. 41

    Re: Wendy Testaburger – Yup exactly. And this is the same person who fights for gay rights? Yet makes fun of fat people? When he is one himself! This guy is a joke. I knew there was a reason why I stopped coming here for awhile.



  42. 42

    I agree with Beth (O) Stern when she said you should really leave the celeb kids alone. Mean comments don't do anyone any good. Especially in a world like we live in now… we could use some good harmless fun as adults but innocent children should be kept a bit sacred.



  43. 43

    I think Perez is the best, but ……. this is WRONG, that baby is like 5 months and by the way she is really cute.



  44. 44

    Ummm, I thought Jessica Alba gave birth to this baby. If that's true, why does she still have the price tag stuck to her head? This celebrity baby buying business is getting way out of control.



  45. 45

    Perez, this time you definitely went too far!! I can't believe you have a picture of Jen's baby under obese children!!



  46. 46

    thats super rude !!!

    that baby is cute and not fat unlike you !
    i know you have lost weight but thats no reason to trash a baby !!!



  47. 47

    That's what babies are SUPPOSED to look like…
