A Series of Moody PSAs Targeting Obese Children [VIDEOS]

Apparently, Georgia has the second highest childhood obesity rate in the United States [GBP]. According to this latest round of Public Service Announcements from the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, 75% of parents with overweight kids ignore the problem.

As part of the message, the noisemakers against Childhood Obesity are telling stories about the dangers, through the rouse of 5 children: Bobby, Tamika, Tina, Maritza and Jaden. It’s not being argued that these PSAs are out for a noble end goal, but a question we’d like to pose is, are these videos crossing the line from a “concerned” tone to a “damaging” one?

Young Bobby, in the first of video of the series, has a quick sit down with his mother in which he tragically asks,

Mom. Why am I fat?

We’ve embedded all five videos below, you be the judge:
