What I find interesting about the article is it states that kids have gotten fatter over the last 3 decades. What strikes me as funny is the fast food companies and burgers joints have been around during those decades as well. Kids do not work like they once did. Everything is at a touch of a button. The food is a problem but no exercise is just as large. What has changed the most over that time frame. Lack of physical activity. It might be an even larger issue than the food.

It's not just the kids, adult obesity has increased at least as much for the same reasons. BB

Very true.

How long before lawyers start going after the electronic companies for the same reasons?

Absolutely true. Food is only a secondary factor in childhood obesity because with their high metabolisms, children should be able to burn off just about anything they eat... AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT SEDENTARY!!

When I grew up, we used to come home from school, jump on our bikes and go and play for 2-3 hours every afternoon until dusk. These days, kids spend 2-3 hours after school watching TV or playing video games. No wonder they are obese.

I remember playing basketball, football, riding bikes or just playing bb gun wars until it was dark.
