Stomach Stapling for Teenagers
It may sound crazy and desperate, but several major children's hospitals, including Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and Texas Children's Hospital, have started offering obesity surgery in recent years specifically designed for Children.

I think it is wrong to show kids at a young age that there is a radical solution if they ever get fat. Read the full article at Slate Magazine here.
