Before kids are going to have a decent diet and exercise parents are going to have to be parents, teaching and guiding. Course when the parents don’t eat in a healthy style, the kids are not going to either.
Schools that drop recess also drop an opportunity for kids to get some activity in their day.
I met a 5 year old the other day that is just Miss Tubby. When it was time to eat she refused milk, juice, and water, demanded and got soda that Mom brought along, and had put in the frige. And yes mom is overweight, and the two aunts that were there are morbidly obese.
The parents have no clue that if you put garbage (sugar & other c*ap) into your body then it is bad for you. You see them at the grocery store with food stamp credit cards but the worst sugary junk food.
Morbidly obese is becoming a more common pharse in the vocabulary. I have cut down going out to eat to save a few buck but also to avoid seeing fat people at the trough. I totally avoid fat food places but I would go to Chick Filet sometimes. I notice too many fatties there so I stopped.
Other places like Cracker Barrel attract them plus fast food. The worst is those - all you can eat Chinese buffetts. Total garbage food loaded with all sorts of fillers and they are filled with illegal alien chinese employees. I went to one - once and it was horrible. They attract people who want to eat like pigs.
