Should Children be Undergoing Surgery for Obesity? [Opinion]

Can you believe that kids now are having surgery to control their obesity?

A new study shows that only 5 percent are able to maintain an average weight after surgery. Once again putting a Band-Aid on the problem that has deeper roots.

Until we change the behavior and habits of kids, the obesity problem won't change. We have created this problem with technology and an acceptance of irresponsible behavior and tolerance of those who choose to self-destruct.

Well, so be it, but don't put tax burdens and higher health care cost on others then because of your personal choices.

That's selfish.
