Exercise Videos Seen Tv

Are Kids “McBranded or just McLazy”?
I was reading this article on Y! and just had a though and wanted to see if anyone agrees….
Why do these “healthy kids” activists always go after fast food companies but you never hear about them confronting TV or video game makers. Are kids really getting too much fast food or not enough exercise??
I feel it’s a mixture of both. I think the fast food that their mom has to pick up on her way home from work wouldn’t be so harmful if kids (and adults for that matter) got some exercise instead of spending all day in front of the TV or game system.
What do you think??

I agree with you 100%. Its definitely a combination of both. There was just as many fast food places when I was growing up as there are now – and my generation was not as obese as children nowadays. The difference is – I spent my childhood pretty much outdoors. Just playing, running around, playing sports, etc. We had longer recesses at school, and more PE. All this is lacking with kids these days.
Frankly, I think the activists should go after the parents. its the parents that have control over this, while the children are living in the house. Everything in moderation is fine. Its the parents responsibility to ensure their kids are eating healthy and getting enough exercise, in my opinion.
