Maybe it's not food at all but Nintendo games and cable television.

Maybe it's the lack of activity due to the ever increasing fear of crime and lawsuits. Is it safe to let our kids ride their bikes, roller skate, play a wild game of tag after school? Every child must ride a school bus because the school's fear lawsuits consequently very few kids walk to and from school. Political correctness within our schools has all but ruined physical education. Just where and when do kids get exercise?

I think there's an agenda behind all the attention to obesity right now. I believe Clinton had the definitions of obesity changed in '99 or 2000. Lowering the definition of obesity certainly makes for dramatic changes on graphs. The question is... why? Surely it's not soley for lining the pockets of trial lawyers involved in class-action lawsuits.
