Yeah im well aware of that. But teenage obesity is not nearly as much of a problem as e.g. adult diabetes (~33%), breast cancer and colorectal cancer. Teens don't watch their peers struggle in and out of the car in the hospital parking lot for surgery. We need followups to adolescent health education in adulthood.


Adult diabetes is mostly a follow up to teenage obesity though. Being obese is not fun, even if you're just a teen.

Sure, but having a basis in high school wouldn't hurt.
