Why Should This Kid Be Worried About The Flu?

You gotta love this picture! Fat kid. Dumb mom. Fresh from today's front page of the Dallas Morning News (photo taken by G.J. McGarthy).
This ten-year old child dons his mask as he leaves his Dallas area elementary school with his mother yesterday. Shouldn't his mother be more concerned about his obesity?
What is a greater health risk to this child? The flu or being too fat?
Yes folks, we are getting fatter as Americans. But perhaps it's because we are getting dumber too!
