There has been much in the press lately about children being over weight. Today i saw a headline - water only as a mealtime drink!
Seems that they are blaming sugary drinks as the cause to being over weight in kids.
No mention about the lack of exercise, playing for hours on x-box type consoles for hours on end rather than playing outside.
As a young teen, computers had only really started coming in to main stream, we had 1 Atari console between myself and 2 brothers and that really was only on when my parents weren't watching the 1 TV in the house.
Nowadays - i have 3 TVs in my house, 3 games consoles (ok a bit extreme) and dozens of games for them. I restrict the amount of time my kids play on them, and their weight is fine. They eat chocolate, drink fizzy pop & squash, all in moderation and with a healthy diet.
Stop blaming products for over weight children and start looking at the parents - moderate the intake of unhealthy foods, restrict access to electric or online games and push them outside in to the fresh air !
