Go Al !
Get up slowly. Turn off the TV. Get a life. ;-)
Just joking. I've got a soft spot for good ole Al.
I think youngsters would prefer ebing called
"Fatty Boombalatty".
So what do we call kids who smoke?
Childhood pastimes are increasingly moving indoors

They should if its true. Sometimes the truth hurts. If the doctor can find a way to get the kid to shape up then he has done that kid a tremendous favor. I really do worry about the health of the younger generations. We didn't have the sheer number of overweight and obese kids when I was growing up. A big part of that was that kids didn't sit inside staring at screens all day long. They played sports, they tromped through the woods, they rode their bikes. The size of some of the seven and eight year olds I see out in mall's today is outrageous and the parents (who often look little better) deserve a lot of the blame.
Sad thing is that things like PE and recess are going out the window at a lot of schools. A real shame and another contributing factor to the tremendous increase in porker children.
