The Slimming Figures of Childhood Obesity.

This article discusses the declining number of childhood obesity incidence in the U.S., Australia, France Switzerland, Sweden and New Zealand. Some social scientists proposed that the obesity rates have reached a plateau to explain the decline in rates. However, it explains that the obesity rate is still higher than in the 1960s and 1970s. Some researchers contend that the data used to produce conclusions leading to the decline in obesity rate are flawed.
