To answer your question many kids today in this country are overweight and yes pizza is one of their faviorite foods,thats probably why they're overweight.An inshape lean wrestler has a huge advantage over a squishy pizza eating kid. Maybe kids shouldn't have to watch their weight thats the parents job IMO (give the kid some veggies) being overweight is dangerous,we may be the first generation to outlive our children because of eating habits.Those who are cutting too much are trying to find a way to win but it just won't work, being weak, sick,and malnourished is not an advantage it's unhealthy.If the kid is gaining strenght,speed,endurance by cutting he needed to lose the weight.I've seen boys at all ages wrestling that Quite frankly needed a bra,watched a show on PBS where a panel of Drs.Said unless parents started changing their diets they would be lucky to see 50 yrs.
