...many, especially in the U.S., it wasn't until the publication in 1998 of Philip Gourevitch's book We Wish to Inform You that Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families, that the full horror of what had happened was brought home.

But almost no studies have been done evaluating the pros and cons of kids being fat yet active. Plus, reports on adults in similar situations have conflicted. Since the 1970s, doctors at the nonprofit Cooper Institute in Dallas have gathered data from more than 100,000 patients who have been weighed, measured and made to run on treadmills while their vital signs...
