i don't know where the kid in the article is from. i don't doubt you have interacted with kids much more overweight but that kid in the photo doesn't look fit & healthy to me
Indeed he looks far from fit & healthy. I am 59 and struggling with losing weight, but at his age that is a deplorable condition to be in. At his age I could do 50 pushups, 50 situps, etc. At 59 I can still do 25 pushups consecutive and about the same number of situps. Not great but I am fucking trying. I bet that kid right there can't do 5 pushups or 5 situps.
