If childhood obesity is casued by the junk food and inactivity, why so many young Mennonites fat? Honestly, I live where there is a large population of Old Order Mennonite and a much larger percentage of children Mennonites are fat, compared to an order of non-elderly and children, non-Mennonites. I thought that modern life was responsible for childhood obesity? These children do not even have electricity in their homes.
it may be genetic ... these people are picky daters. fat when obese people have children fat. In addition, some religions have a hard core diet weird ... and whole milk, cheese, cooking Mennonite have a lot of calories because they do not buy diet food.
children are fat rrrroooollllliiinnnn
The Mennonites have electricity and they drive cars. You might think Amish, not Mennonite. Report Abuse
They eat a lot of deserts and some parents do not monitor the quantities of what they eat. They usually have large meals also because women are proud of their cuisine, what can they benefit? Of course, they are not all like that, but I know many who are.
