I blame video games, computers and cell phones.............................
“The United States is home to the most obese population in the Americas, Asia and Europe, has the fattest kids by a wide margin and is tops in poor health for teenagers, according to the latest measure of well-being from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.”
No more dodgeball or running around the school yard, because of insurance considerations. More than half the boys are excused from gym because of asthma or adhd. Kids no longer form their own class teams to play others after school.
Include the videos and you have a very fat, lazy kid. Prime candidate to become a LiV.
I blame forks (works for gun control right?)
I blame the nanny state that makes it so that my generation and my 13-year-younger brother’s generation barely has to work for anything any more.
That is, until other peoples’ money runs out...
Then guess who’s going to be on the menu?
Also, the liberal thought that P.E. classes shouldn't be a part of education.
Smoke weed, play video games, and eat snacks and you can be an obese 14 year old. Can you imagine that - being an obese 14 year old? I am ready for the rapture. Come on God, bring it on!
Partially, but I'd also blame helicopter parents and the fear of government intrusion, like DCF involvement, if your kids ar considered the least "free range" and get a booboo
Shit, a broken arm or stitches was a badge of honor in the late 70's.
I blame those too, but I have to add overprotective parents that sanitize their children every time the kid touches a doorknob. They never play... never explore... always in their sanitary germ-free bubble.
I see the Mexicans are fatties too. I thought they were poor.
I was 250 before head injury. Went to 430 after being home a number of years!!!
Lost 110 pounds past year. Did it be Starving at bedtime lol.
you dont lose 110 pounds and go to bed satiated every night.
If I wasnt the LAZIEST human in the world, I would have lost another 30 over that time with exercise.
I blame all the food drives and stop hunger efforts...
Yep, some parents need to figure out a way to put their gadgets and toys down for an hour and COOK DINNER instead of bringing home a bag of crap every night from the Golden Arses.
