20% of QLD children are overweight or obese!

Well, having finished reading the QLD Government's "Healthy Kids Queensland Survey 2006" I feel vaguely sick.
The report was commissioned by QLD Health and of course had a massive steering committee who no doubt relished in the importance of conducting a labour-intensive survey accross students in QLD and their eating and exercise habits.
I will regurgitate some of the relevent points over the next few days. Much of it interesting and needs addressing.
The first thing I would like to comment on is the fact that 19.5% of boys and 22.7% of girls aged between 5-17 were overweight or obese.
Do you think it may have anything to do with the following:
The NHMRC 2003, recommends that children and adolescents have 5 - 11 serves of cereals/breads/rice/pasta or noodles per day! With one serve equalling 1 cup of cereal, or 2 slices of bread, or 1 cooked cup of rice,pasta or noodles.
This means that 22 slices of bread, or 1 box of rice bubbles, or 11 cups of cooked pasta a day is OK.
I know I am a nutritionist, but given the fact the 1 in 5 QLD kids are struggling with weight, surely we should decrease the amount of carbs we are recommending!!!
How about 1-2 serves of these carbs per day!
