PandaOnProzac: I agree. Which is why I hate MTV. It's evil, vapid, and useless.
Anywho.....There are so many fat little kids these days! Now, don't get me wrong, when I grew up, there were chubby little kids. But there is a difference between a few extra pounds & obese. It's just something you see more and more.
Here is my example: Last night, Mr. Mox & I were looking at houses. He said, "I don't know if I would want to live here. There are too many kids around." WHAT?! They weren't being bad, they were playing kickball in the street and stuff. What kids used to do! He used to do the same darn thing! But now, we're so used to kids being plunked on their butts, watching tv, playing Playstation, or being entertained on the computer that anything else is seen as unusual.
This sedentary lifestyle & fast food culture is a result of single parent families. I think that the mother or father raising their children alone have to work so hard, for such long hours, they just don't have the time to cook. Plus, they do not want their kids outside where it could be dangerous. So whipping through the drivethru & letting your kid stay indoors with a computer or tv is easier and seems safer.
Ok, that was starting to get way off subject. Sorry.
