Big Problems

It still amazes me that there are so many overweight children in America, but I can understand why. For example, the kid’s meal at most fast food restaurants are the size of what adults use to eat as a normal meal. At least most of the fast food restaurants are now giving the option for parents to get a fruit cup or yogurt instead of fries, but how many parents actually do that? From what I have seen, not many go for the substitution. Another reason our children are overweight is because they are inside way too much. With the Wii, Playstation, Xbox, and the TV controlling our kids’ lives, there is no wonder why kids get obese. You can even bowl in your living room these days!!! These inventions are great and they all have their place, but it’s up to the parents to control the use of these electronic fat inducers. Get your kids off the couch and interact with them. As parents, we must lead our kids into a healthier lifestyle…starting now.
