Cases of childhood obesity have been growing particularly in the Western continents although Asians are beginning to catch up (but malnourishment has still the highest incidence, though). Children are generally growing and developing fast. They need nutrients to sustain high energy metabolic requirements. They are the same as adults as they need sufficient amounts of calories to make up for what has been expended. But for the instances of obesity, they take on more calories than what is burned up! Slimming, in a key sense, is essential.
