			Of course being drastically overweight can cause health problems, but I wish more attention was paid to healthy living in general. A person who is generally accepted to be thin or average can still be incredibly unhealthy. My metabolism started slowing down a couple of years ago and I finally started trying to eat right and exercise, but before that a doctor told me I was on the border for getting diabetes, my percentage fat was extremely high, and that I desperately needed to be doing cardio and quit the caffeine. I was 5'4" and around 105 pounds. Not skinny, but what I consider to be thin. Definitely not overweight. I'm about ten pounds heavier now with a much healthier percentage of that being muscle and my eating habits are (mostly) better, but I've got tons of friends that are probably just as unhealthy as I was two years ago, and they fit into a size 2. Point being you don't HAVE to be overweight to be incredibly unhealthy.
 I hope these kids get a fair shake. Sometimes these shows are cruel in how they edit the footage.
