A new study saying our kids are fat. I think there are many things contributing to this like video games (so they don't take up physcial activities), unhealthy eating habits, etc... What do you think?

Yeah. They are fat. I remember back in the day if grown folks were in the house chillin' we were outside! There was no chillin in front of the TV waiting for Yo! MTV Raps to go off..we were out playing kick ball or red-light, green-light! We were also required to do a lil more work around the house. I used to hate when fall hit because as soon as T.Alexander got home from work i knew i had to get out there and help him rake those leaves. Had to earn my keep! Now there's 100000000 gaming systems out there and we'd rather pay someone else to do what able bodied kids could be out there doing!
When my kids get older they are going to have chores. They won't have me doing all of the work around the house. I also plan to keep them active. My oldest already does dance, cheer and tennis. It's a shame... we were at the grocery store yesterday and everyone was fat. And I'm not talking about just a few extra pounds I'm talking about obese.
Keep her dancing!
We will definitely keep it going. She's at dance camp right now.
Sweet Nupe,
That kid in your picture is fat. Prime Example!
I keep my son active in sports! Lol, yea that is a fat kid as your pic!
SLA when you opening up your dance studio so we can send TJ and KJ to it? Can't reveal the names; too many people swiping them. LOL.
But I agree with you whole heartedly. I remember getting out there raking leaves to, had corns all over my little fingers. But times have changed.
I remember when it was punishment to stay in the house. We would cry to go outside and play softball, kickball, red light/green light, mother may i, red rover, etc. Now my sister tells my mother it's too hot to go outside. She has every video gaming system known to man plus a computer, so her days are spent doing that. Granted she's small now, but I've seen her genetics, so she's not destined to stay that size. But she plays softball during the summer seasons.
I wish there were more things for her to get into, but being from Monroeville, you ain't got much to do but play video games. Most of my cousins her age are thinking about sex and etc. so it's not like the cult I grew up with, where we were all thinking about just going outside to play with the neighborhood kids. But I keep telling her, if she ever give up softball, it's going to be FAT CAMP for her, because she's not my breed, she's got BIG GIRL running through her bones.
