21. All one needs to do is look around.
Next time y'all are at a store, look around at the children shopping there. In my town, at least a quarter of the kids are overweight or obese.

I was one of the "fat kids" throughout my school years. There were only two or three others like me in my high school graduating class of roughly 400. My current gym is across the street from a high school of similar size to the one where I went. Many of the students go to the gym after school. I see dozens and dozens of obese and overweight teens there. Many of them far bigger than I ever was.
