You're exactly right. Kids today are fed fast food and the processed food that is loaded with carbohydrates, sugar and other sweet things that loads them up on fat. Coupled with their inactivity levels and lazy parents, it is no wonder these children are obese early in life. No longer do I see children outside playing sports (other than in organized leagues where their parents go apesh*t!), riding bicycles/bigwheels, playing pickle, building treehouses, etc. Their parents build treehouses for them. They stay inside and play Playstation instead of going outside. When they do go outside, they have those motorized monster-truck replica vehicles instead of using self-power by riding a bike or bigwheel.

BUMP to those comments.

Sugar and carbs are the killers...I'm convinced of that.

I am so thankful my kids love playing outside. Cant wait to get to Texas where we will have our own backyard with a swingset and lots for kids to do. My son loves to ride his bike and just got a Green Machine for Christmas. Pedal power baby!
