Thank you.

I hardly think that having a single slice of pizza or a 1 ounce bag of chips for lunch is why kids are obese. How about the fact that kids are warehoused in daycare, after school care and watch to much TV, play video games and mom and dad bring home junk for dinner because they work all day and don't cook?

I am 50. My mom only ever worked part time when we were kids and it was either at night, when my dad was home or grandma watched and fed us. We walked to school in the AM, we walked home for lunch, we walked back for the afternoon and then walked home after school. We did not play video games and we played outside until the street lights came on. We whined if we could not go outside. Even if it was snowing!

I think the cause is not lunch!
