Georgia's child obesity ads

40% of Georgia's children are overweight and Georgia is the second highest rate in the nation.  50% of Georgians don't consider child obesity a problem.

The Children's Healthcare decided to have ads helping this cause saying, "Being fat takes the fun out of being a kid," and "It's hard to be a little girl if you're not. Research in weight bias shows that when people feel shamed because of weight they're actually more likely to reinforce obesity behaviors such as, unhealthy eating, and increased caloric intake. Parents need to realize this problem and do something about it. The Children's health care just wanted people to talk about it and do something about it. There are some arguments but they want to fix this problem.
