Kiddies eat more broccoli, do more jumping jacks, lose weight

Obesity Rate for Young Children Plummets 43% in a Decade - NYTimes.com

"The news announcement from the C.D.C. included a remark from Mrs. Obama: ‘I am thrilled at the progress we’ve made over the last few years in obesity rates among our youngest Americans.’"

But wait—the children in that headline (and in the celebratory article that follows) are 2-5 years old. Did we say kiddies? That’s what we meant. 

For everybody else the data is more or less unchanged.

But dude, there’s got to be a pony in there somewhere, right?
