Prior to personal computers, and video games, you could not keep kids inside. Kids used to play games like, tag, hide and seek, two square and four square. Plus, eating used to take away from play time...now eating is play time. While varsity sports are well supported and funded, physical education and activities for kids who are not athletic in middle and high school has declined. Because of this, diseases that were basically unheard of in kids are cropping up all over the country. It is frightening to see kids being diagnosed with hypertension and type II diabetes.

because there is so much fast food and today's parents are working around the clock...its just easy to stop and get happy meals rather than cook a meal at home. kids are learning that it is "normal" to eat 4 or 5 fast food meals per week. lack of education to both parents and children...even though word of this epidemic is everywhere and millions are buying books about it...im willing to bet 95% of those books end up on the back of toilets collecting dust.

We're trendsetters. Kids are overweight because none of them play outside anymore. Poor kids are skinny because their parents cannot fork out the $5000 for the PS3 so they're outside playing.

American parents feed their babies to shut them up, which kicks off bad eating habits. There is too much fast food available to kids today, so they don't eat as healthy as they could, and should.
