A person of normal weight who is a couch potato and totally unfit, is actually at higher risk of most health problems than the overweight person who is regularly physically active., [I]In other words... fitness doesn't prevent obesity, and obesity (except in the extreme) doesn't prevent fitness.[/I] SO... what's the goal? fitness? or fighting obesity? Here, at least, they have given up on fighting obesity... and chosen to focus on trying to get kids hooked on life-long active interests. Even moderate fitness levels are a huge health impact.
