The other day I read that today's kids are facing an obesity "epidemic" which will shorten their life spans, so they can stand to skip a few meals.
Yeah, everywhere I go, I see people walking around eating. Don't they ever stop? It was considered rude, especially for adults, to eat while walking around in public when I was a kid. Go home to eat. Of course, there's no one home, so why bother. Now it's like breathing. They need to do eat all the time.
But they never play. Go to a park and look at the number of kids playing baseball or anything else, for that matter. The only kids that play at parks now are the ones the day care centers dump there.
