I would have never believed it if I didn't see the children that go to school with my kids all the time. None of my kids are overweight, and of all of my friends' kids, only a couple are a little chunky. Going up to school though, I can see the 1 in 3 thing. Doesn't help that most schools serve soda and french fries to the kids still despite this.
