1 in 5 preschoolers is obese, study finds

Among American Indian children, rate makes surprising jump to one third

ok so why did i just read this article on MSNBC-let me just tell you guys-if you have kids or want kids, do us ALL a favor-make your kids participate in sports and outdoor activities-in my house-Josh and I didn't have video games growing up we had imagination and creativity-NOW granted there are those who question my exceptional level of creativity and imagination and the ability to entertain myself-the bottom line is-childhood was fun-these kids now are SO fat and SO lazy and the parents have just served them the ultimate plate of disservice (is that a word) *oh well* to them!
let's see now your fatty is going to be teased, they will miss out on normal social interactions, and development, and my theory they will either turn into a hermit or serial killer, or pedophile, or hell maybe a combo of all of the above!!
so my public service announcement is sports-its does a body good!

no kid has ever suffered from making friends in a positive environment, learning camaraderie, learning follow through, the team concept, and the ability to work with and depend on others!

geez and i realize every kid will NOT make it to the NFL, NHL, NBA, and WBNA, but the foundation of fitness in the long run will only help not hinder them in the rest of their life
