Killing With 'Kindness'?

In many parts of the globe. childhood obesity is a growing problem. A Munich analysis of this condition, used data from 50 existing clinical studies. This meta-analysis, consequently, totalled more than 10 million participants, from a range of locations. It found that, if they failed to lose weight in adulthood, severely obese children, could reach just half the average lifespan (https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/may/15/young-children-with-persistent-severe-obesity-could-have-half-average-life-expectancy-study-finds). Strikingly, in the study, a severely obese 4 year old boy was found to have a life expectancy of only 39! Perhaps, there really is an urgent need to employ the weight loss drug, semaglutide, more widely? That, however, means children being routinely injected, rather than just being given more food. Care would also have to be taken, not to make any eating disorders worse. Difficult decisions for parents and physicians?
