That is what being a kid is all about. Too much nowadays parents let their kids plop themselves down in front of the TV and play video games and computer games. They make them quick meals in the microwave instead of actual home cooking because it is easier in their hectic lives. That's not a healthy lifestyle for anyone, especially growing children. If we don't go outside, socialize and get fresh air regularly every day, maybe we won't necessarily gain weight, but we are not going to be a happy, healthy person overall.

BOOM!! Right on. McDonalds has been around for close to 50 years now, right? And obesity has really only taken shape over the last 10. It is the lifestyle, not the food. Maybe a combination of both, but people need to be out there moving around and getting exercise.
