We had bake sales and junk food at school when we were growing up and there weren't a bunch of fat kids walking around. Today kids sit in class all day, then go home and sit in front of the computer, video game or TV. My mother used to throw us out in the yard and we rode bikes, climbed trees and were very active. Bake sales don't make kids fat!
I couldn’t agree more. I spent so much time outside; I was probably one of the healthist kids around. We also used our imaginations. We had all kinds of games we played.
Today, kids don’t do that. If they are outside; they are in structured groups for a period of time if it fits into the schedule or they hang.
