Billy Bunter in Mumbai

Mumbai : India | 2 months ago  
Views: 70

This is what junk food can do – this boy is only 4 feet tall and weighs a staggering 65 kilograms. Billy Bunter seems to have come to life in Mumbai. His parents blame it on his eating habits and excess of junk food. Noodles and burgers top his list with an emphatic no-no for vegetables. He is not alone – there is an 8-year old who tips the scales at 115 kilograms. He is in the ICU with 2 types of diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. It is for parents to take proper care – kids should be prevented from gorging on junk food – but, today’s working parents have very little time for that. They suffer from a guilt complex and compensate it by allowing the children the freedom to choose their food and snacks. They do not realize the grave risks involved.
