Primary Source - Childhood Obesity

This is a photo used in an article about childhood obesity and the health risks associated with it. The boy featured in the picture is an overweight young adult. Assuming that this was staged, the photographer included elements that we all now associate with unhealthy weight gain. The boy is eating from a bag of potato chips, and there is another bag of snack food on the table next to him. He is also drinking soda and watching television. The photo's depiction is not far off from how a lot of children spend their leisure time in today's society.
