You didn’t get fat because after you had your snack, you went outside to play with all the other kids in the neighborhood, right?
That’s the problem today, NOT what the kids it, but that they don’t go out to play.
but that they don’t go out to play.

They don’t go out and play because mommy has been told that the outside world is dangerous and a child molester is out in the yard hiding behind every bush.
The government told her the only safe place was inside a public school or at home.
Worse yet, there are dangerous things in the yard such as swings, slides and merry-go-rounds. Heck! Who knows, there might be even more dangerous things such as footballs, baseball bats, tops, yo-yos, and other banned dangerous killer items from an era prior to the 70’s.
It’s just simply too dangerous out there today.
Now, I have to stop typing here and go give little Johnny his “hard hat” because I am afraid he just might hurt himself if he falls off his chair while watching Sponge Bob, Square Pants.
You can never be too careful! </S>
Actually I watched Gilligan’s Island and Batman and The Mod Squad! I got alot of excercise walking to and from school, however. And they made us take P.E. all the time and we had to participate. Also, I grew up in Hawaii and did a lot of outdoor stuff. But surely, video games have GOT to contribute to the problem of childhood fatness, I agree.
