Young Children Already Feeling The Pressure To Be Skinny

Young Children Already Feeling The Pressure To Be Skinny

Ugh! This is so sad!

We support fighting childhood obesity with a healthy diet and more fun physical activities, but this is NOT HEALTHY.

A government study covering the years between 1999 and 2006 revealed that hospitalizations for eating disorders in CHILDREN younger than 12-years-old increased 119%!

So disturbing!

Watch the video above to see an alarming story about one particular 6-year-old who ALREADY thinks she is overweight because of comments from both students and teachers at school!

As the news story continues, an interview with young girls — yielding HARSH criticisms on the bodies of other girls their age — highlights a major concern that perhaps the pressure to be skinny is being felt entirely too young.
