Consequences of obesity include the development of chronic diseases, and more and more we are seeing these problems develop at an earlier age. For this discussion board, please read Controversy 13: Childhood Obesity and Early Chronic Diseases at the end of Chapter 13 in our textbook Nutrition Concepts and Controversies, 15th ed.

Use only the information from the textbook to support your statements and be sure to cite the source properly using APA formatting.
