I think the main point of the article is we're all getting fatter and it's beginning at earlier ages compared to the past. Physical Education has become much more important recently, than when I was a kid. Sure, I had PE classes, but it's nothing like what they are today.
I would argue that part of this trend is a result of parents not thinking about what they are feeding their children, and the other reason for this trend is the ridiculous portion sizes when you go to a restaurant (think: Cheesecake Factory).
If parents did a better job cooking for their children (so they know exactly what their kids are eating) and eating out less (or at least eating out in moderation) then we'd all be better off.
