Do you really notice fat kids or because there are so many they don't seem out of place?

Do you really take note of fat kids? Is it people have not really noticed fat and obese kids because there are so many now it is rather normal? I guess I notice fat kids because way back in ancient times when I was in school, there were not fat kids really. I cannot remember any fat kids in my school from 1st grade until 6th, and that was every class in the whole school not just the grade I was in or that year but every year until I left. I remember there were only 2 kids, one girl and one boy who we kids thought of as fat; and by today’s standards they would not even be seen as fat. All sorts of things are said of fat kids that 18% of all children are either fat or obese, and they have a 70% chance of being obese adults link. Some studies place the number higher, but there seem to be no denying OK there will be those who will stay in denial that there is a problem growing yearly with fat kids. Is the reason why this slips under the radar or is not noticed that much is because with so many fat kids running around it seems normal? For instance imagine you had to live out in the bush for about a year or longer and there were no paved roads or sidewalks. During the summer when the dust got blowing if 60% of the time you seen a vehicle it was covered in dust you would soon stop noticing that nearly all the vehicles were dusty. Isn’t that kind of the same effect with fat kids, they are all over in such numbers they don’t really stand out much anymore?
