Hey guys hows it going.
I just would like to touch an issue on our next generation getting fatter and fatter.
For me im not fat but i am not skinny either i like to get out there have fun excercise do muay thai and go to the gym.

These days its just junk food and computer games.
I think its wrong that healthier food is usually dearer and junk food is always on special. dont they see that they are harming our kids, that the bright colours and vivid cartoon ads and so fourth arent doing anything healthy for the kids.

If you look at the eskimos, they dont never have used tooth brushes eat meat and eater and they are healthy, dont get no disease bright white teeth and here we are 200 + pounds sitting on the couch every day.

I just hope something gets done soon.
What do you guys reckon ?

Shitty lazy parents. Plain and simple.

You can blame the parents yes.. but a lot of them can blame their parents.

Really I think of eating junkfood the same as smoking, when it comes to children.

Education is key here. Perhaps some true nutritional lessons in high school or refining "Gym" glass into something more useful

Or we can just try to set good examples

Oh, I don't know and could care less, I was just confused by what you said. It reminded me of a Yogi Bera-ism. Example: "It ain't over, till it's over."

I was just having a conversation abotu this very topic with a client and my boss this morning. Her grandkids from her husband's side are obese and inactive, lethargic and have birthday parties at McDonald's. Her grandkids from her side are athletic, eat healthy food, have tons of energy and are pretty much the complete opposite of her husband's grandkids.

My boss' nephews are obese teens who do nothing but play video games all day.

Here is an email i sent them, with helpful materials they can use to talk with the kids and the kids' parents:
