The earlier a person becomes obese, the greater the health problems and risk of death. By the year 2010, it is redicted that half the children in North and South America will be clinically obese compared to about one-third of children in 2000.

(A) Children will become more and more obese in the coming years.

(B) Children in North and South America are more obese than children in Europe or Asia.

Incorrect : Issue is not about HOW obese (30 lbs obese or 40 lbs obese or 50 kgs obese). Eliminated

(B) Children in North and South America are more obese than children in Europe or Asia.
Incorrect : Comparison between obese children of America/Asia/Europe is irrelevant to the scope of the argument.

(C) Obesity that begins in childhood poses a greater risk of health problems and death than does obesity that begins in
adulthood.
Correct : It is stated in the premise that 'the earlier a person becomes obese, the greater the health problems and risk of death' and this answer choice logically follows the premise.

(D) Today's children may be the first generation in centuries to have a shorter average life span than their parents.
Incorrect : Blah Blah Blahhhh generation out of scope !!!!

(E) Parents should not be concerned about childhood obesity because kids have plenty of time to lose the weight.
Incorrect : Rubbish !!!
