Today's kids mostly just sit around IM'ing and txt'ing each other...........
When they aren't surfing the net or playing video games, that is. |

actually what happens is your child has to walk slower for the others your child has to eat with them for as long as they want to eat lunch. everyone goes out at the same time your child gets picked last for a team because it's not polite to pick the fat kid last your child later gets passed over for a job because the fat kid will sue if he's "discriminated" against for his appearance. (wish I was kidding) your child has to play games in PE (if they have it) that accomodate those who are "slower and less agile" (otherwise known as fat). why correct the problem when it's much easier to appease the chubbies |

My 15 year old daughter: Plays soccer 4 days a week (2+ hours each time), runs 3-5 miles 7 days a week, eats healthy with occasional (once/twice a week) treats. My 13 year old son: Plays baseball 6 days a week, rides his bike sometimes with friends, goofs on his skateboard, eats healthy with occasional (once/twice a week) treats. I don't allow snacks in my house - I fix 90% of my meals at home - no gravies, lean meat, very few carbs, lots of salads and veggies. Fast food once a month max. They're allowed to watch a movie with us ONCE in awhile - like maybe 2 movies a month. Other than that - no TV. They use the computer for homework, no internet access. They don't own or play video games. Yes - I'm a mean mom. I'm fine with that. One child is 'short' compared to peers and probably 50 pounds overweight. One is "average" compared to peers and probably 20 pounds UNDERweight. The overweight child just ran a 5K in February and finished in under 24 minutes. The underweight child ran about 1 minute slower. They're both very physically fit. But with diametrically opposed bodies. Given that all of the above is absolutely true - can you determine which child is overweight and which is under? Genetics DO play a part.

Laura,
The thread isn't about kids who are simply overweight, its about obese kids that couldn't play 10 minutes of soccer out in the sun if their life depended on it. NFL lineman are "overweight" too but those guys can easily outrun my skinny ass. People have different body types, I've got no problem with that. I'm referring to the growing portion of really obese kids that you can take one look at and realize they haven't run more than 10 feet in the last year. ________ Herb vaporizers Last edited by Kaneman; 05-09-2011 at 08:08 PM.. |
