Childhood Obesity: Real Or Imagined?

There has been a lot of coverage recently over the CDC (Center for Disease Control) bungling its much reported obesity statistics. First a correction was published in the JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association). This was picked up by popular media, and then painstakingly over-examined by the Consumer Freedom site.

Now there seems to be similar sentiment in the UK with reports that childhood obesity has been overhyped and overestimated.

The report alludes to a connection between the research organization and popular food companies (Cadbury Schweppes and Kellogg's).
