Report: 1 in 10 Schoolchildren Too Heavy

The International Obesity Task Force has recently estimated that 10% of kids between the ages of 5 and 17 are too heavy, and almost a third of this group (i.e. 3% of all children aged 5 to 17) are obese. The problem is not isolated to a few countries, but rather a global problem.
