the clinical criteria for being overweight. >> are parents responsible in some ways? >> i don't know if we can blame it on parents. the incidents, the cause of this obesity, global obesity epidemic is complicated. it has to do with a lot of things, processed food, portion size, it has to do with less exercise, the advent of, you know, all the electronics, not just our kids, but all of us are glued to our electronics, you know, day and night, so it's really multi-factorial. parents can play an important role by modeling appropriate behavior, right? serving the right food, saying hey, let's put down or electronics and go out for a bike ride today. there's a lot of things parents can do, but it isn't parents' fault that kids are obese.
11:26 pm
>> what's the public health impact of this obesity? >> it's huge, obesity is associated with a lot of medical conditions, the most prevalent of which is type two diabetes. type two diabetes is a risk factor for a number of students, including heart attacks and strokes, so as we've seen this epidemic of obesity, we've also seen epidemics of hype every tension in kids, which we never saw before. when i was in training, we didn't see type two diabetes in kids and now you do. hugely important from not just a personal health point of view, but also from a public health point of view. by the way, these conditions are quite costly, too, so there's a financial impact, as well. >> there's a psychological aspect to this. how do you encourage kids to lose weight without hurting their self-esteem. >> i think it's very tricky.
11:27 pm
what we don't want to do is to stigmatize these kids. they're at a vulnerable time in their lives, and yet we want to encourage them to have behavior change. i think that from a stanley point of view as i said, parents can model the behavior by serving the right food, by not buying sugared cereals, by saying as a family let's go out and exercise today instead of, you know, watching t.v. orr doing electronics. >> doctor, good to have you on the program, thanks very much approximate. >> thanks. >> coming up next, the conflict in the middle east is spreading. what set off violent clashes in west bank between israeli troops and palestinians. the grieving continues in the netherlands. we'll hear from families of flight 17 as their loved ones return. return.
