Child ObescityThe whole issue with child obesity has become rather common today, and now you see all the commercial on TV about junk food, and schools want to get rid of junk food in vending machines and instead have health food, of course I am not saying that it is bad to have children eating healthy food, but I think perhaps we are going a little over bored making junk food into some sort of evil. For one thing junk food is a part of being kid, I mean who never had junk food? It taste good, it is fun, and second of all junk food has been around forever, it really cannot fairly be called the problem if the whole idea of child obesity is something new, how can you blame something that has been around? It is not as if junk food has just recently appeared.
That is not the problem, what the real problem is that when I was a kid I spent my time out wrestling with the neighborhood boys, riding my bike, playing baseball in the street, going swimming, going hiking. Kids do not do that any more, they spend all their time seated in front of a TV screen, or a computer screen, playing video games, of course I am not trying to say that TV or video games are evil either, because that is also a part of being kid, sure I watched TV and played games, but that is not all I did, but now kids just don't want to get outside at all, and I think a part of that is also the parents fault because there is so much fear mongering, not to mention all the touchy feeliness of Oh my god, we cannot let our kids do anything where they might get hurt. I played hard, and I got scraped up, cut up, scabbed up, broke a leg, sprained, and twisted things. But you know what, that was part of being a kid as well. 9:53 AM - 3/18/2006 - post comment
