Researchers in Australia are angry that some are claiming that childhood obesity is a myth.

"Of course it can't keep increasing exponentially, you know there comes a stage where it has to plateau out but if it's plateauing out at the height of Everest rather than the height of Bluff Knoll then we need to do something about it," he said
