Well DUH!

And it's a mixture of problems that is causing the issue of childhood obesity:

1. Cheap unhealthy food that is easy and plentiful: Read McDonald's and the likes of them.

2. Poor parenting, the parents are failing to teach good dietary habits and reinforce this with item 1 above.

3. Computers and video games. While the Wii does offer some cardio-vascular benefit, nothing can substitute for good ol' ruff and tumble of king of the hill and cops and robbers on bicycles.

4. Let's ad the electronic baby sitter as well... the TV also known as the stupid box. See item 3 above.

5. FEAR! There is another one right there, parents and children are terrified to go outside! Good job media!

The bottom line, beat their arse and throw them outside to play Enough with the Molly coddling build some character in these kids. I hear how smart they are and all that... sure they maybe a bit smarter than their parents but they completely lack any common sense!

Every time I see a FAT kid, and that is what they are f*** political correctness, call it what it is! But every time I see a FAT kid I think to myself, there is a prime example of child abuse! MAYBE 5% of FAT kids actually have a legitimate medical reason for their obesity and in those cases you use whatever medical magic you can to give them a chance to lose weight.

But these other fat little turds... get them off the soda's (there goes ADHD!) get them off the fast foot (there goes the fat and the diabetes) and make them run, play and goof off outside. And if you're afraid they might get abducted then take responsibility for your accident and spend some time with them.

You people (read the average American now... today) are a riot. But don't worry, as soon as Obama gets elected and you know he will (to bad too, then again we are screwed with either of the two candidates) he will have all sorts of government programs in place to watch your kids so you can continue to get fat, lazy and of course pop out a few more for the state.

The solution is simple. The problem is the people, parents and the government stepping in to help perpetuate the lard arse issues in this nation. Don't forget big pharma and the fast food industry as well.
