Our kids today have too much homework, and too much TV, computer, and video game time. They do NOT **play** nearly enough to stay healthy, IMHO.

a third of 9 month olds are now overwieght or obese. 9 month olds just crawl around. they do not make choices to stay home to play video game vs go biking.
a typical kid would have to bike at over 20 miles per hour for an hour to burn off a big mac. (how many parents buy their kids big mac? A lot. how many kids of yesteryears were enrolled in spin classes? Zero.)
