Guess what is the hardest thing to talk with their kids about? It's not drugs, drinking or sex. It's weight.
A national "Raising Fit Kids" study reveals that being overweight is a more difficult topic for parents to talk to their teens about than the traditionally touchy subjects of drugs, alcohol, smoking and even sex. The study finds one quarter of parents avoid discussing their children's size with them.
The reason why are nation is fat is because us adults have become to lazy to cook. We place more importance on carting are children to every activity during the week making it impossible to have family meals at home.
ReplyDeleteIf families where home in the evenings what excuse would there be to eat at McDonald's except on special occasions.
If you teach children that burgers, chicken nuggets, fries and soda are a balanced meal on a regular basis, why would you expect them to eat what normal people eat?
I feel sorry for the McDonald's generation. Why? Because it is not their fault. Who's fault is it? It is the fault of those who are paying for the food they are stuffing in their overweight faces.
Not only are they the McDonald's generation, kids don't go outside and run and play. When I was a kid, my mom would have to drag me in at night. Building forts in the woods, digging little ponds, climbing trees, you can't get any better exercise than that. Now it's video games and television. We are in a sad state.
ReplyDeleteI think a parent who allows their child to become morbidly obese, like those boys in the picture, should be charged with felony child abuse. I am serious. What kind of life will these kids have?
