Kids are not fat because they are eating too much cr@p, they are fat because they never go outside. When I was a kid all the kids were outside all the time, running, biking, playing games and sports and exploring. I didn’t even grow up in a rurual area, but right in LA and by the time I was 6, I roamed mostly where I wanted. Now I travel extensively, and I always notice parks and such are empty everywhere, all the time. The only time I ever see children are the few that are allowed to walk themselves to/from school. A freind of mine has a 10 and 9 year old, and the only times they are outside is when she personally takes them to the park. I asked her why they can’t go themselves, and she told me it was illegal for kids under 12 to go to the park themselves. (At least she thought it was here, since apparantly it is in CA). That’s why kids are fat

But even if they make it to a park, there won't be much play equipment due to the threat of trial lawyers filing lawsuits if a kid gets injured.

Instead of spending billions of dollars changing the school lunch menu,that no one likes, wouldn’t it be cheaper for the taxpayers and better for all the students to just bring back Physical education classes in all the schools?
