Here are some reasons why I (condescendingly) think kids are overweight.

They are no longer safe to go where they wish and play out of a caregivers observation.

They are more interested in techy things that they sit and play at then climbing and running and playing with other kids.

Their early eating habits are not monitored by someone who loves them and they are not ummm directed towards good things for them to eat by their parents because from infancy they are in day care. One disapproving parent is worth a platoon of excellent day care workers when it comes to influencing.

Hardly anyone cooks like they used to. Lot of easy things to prepare or buy are placed in front of kids these days.
