I haven't seen a post on this subject so i decided to post it. What do you believe is the number one reason why obesity and/or child obesity are rising? What do you think this country can do to prevent increasing obesity? Do you believe with the advancement of technology to make things "easier" will have a direct effect on our obesity count?

QUOTE Yeah for adults they dont have much time to eat anymore but for kids its much different. If you look at the big picture, most kids don't do extracurricular activities or do lots of things afterschool. If they were shown a picture of how'd they turn out in 40 years, then they'd do soemthing about their body and starting exercising instead of opening a bag of fried chips and sitting on the couch watching tv until their parents come home to cook them a greasy fat filled meal. Kids have plenty of chances to do something about their health, they just don't know about it yet or don't care about it yet. Hm.. I'll agree with the kids not caring part.. but not about the parents cooking greasy fat meals.. My parents cook perfectly healthy meals... but they have a hell of a time trying to convince my sister to eat the healthy stuff.. Kids dont realli care about the future.. they think its so far off.. they're too concerned with the here and now that when the future comes.. its too late |
