Kids are not fat because they are eating too much cr@p, they are fat because they never go outside.

Absolutely. The various "governmental" bodies have made it so dangerous for parks and reacrations to even offer fun play equipment (for fear of lawsuit) should someone get hurt.

There is no suprise that kids aren't outside, if they are and aren't watched like a hawk, parents will get a ticket. There is no incentive to have the kids out playing again, the fees, fines, and stupidity have bankrupted either the parents or the parks, or sometimes both.

In many areas of the country its simply not safe to allow kids to go outside thanks to liberal cottling of criminals.
