No, juice does not cause obesity.

Obesity is caused by too many calories (from any source) combined with too little activity.

If more parents would raise their kids “free range” style (the way kids used to be raised), instead of restricting their activity to whatever they can do within viewing distance of the parent, the obesity problem might not be so bad.

Yup.

Its why some people can eat fast food for a month and lose weight, while,others eat that and everything else, and baloon up huge. Its amount of calories AND activity level.

I was very surprised to see so many nurses and hospital employees from administrative types to nurses aides who were almost to a person extremely large when I was in the ER on Tuesday. I can’t help but wonder if kids get physical education in schools every year through high school these days like I did? It seems those who are thin these days are about as many as those who were considered obese in the 50’s-60’s?

Free range

Like go outside and “come back before dark”?

That was the normal life for me and my friends, every summer day starting in early grade school.

True. I shoot baskets and go to a practice field to play ball with my teenager. I’m sore a lot, but it feels good and burns off the calories. It also gives me interactive time that I will always treasure.
