Obesity, call it what it is YOUR FAT

O.k. before i get started i have to disclose the fact that i'm fat. Now that i got that off my stomach we can move forward, and i want to rant alittle bit about what is wrong out there and why people and especially children are obese. Way back when, long before 200 cable channels, playstation 3and even cell phones we as kids used our emaginations and picked teams for road hockey as well as baseball.During our formative years at public and senior public schools we attendedgym either every or other days, however where we started to go off the rails is when we started high school and after grade 9 gym became an option that many didn't pick up after that.

So now we move forward to today and some kids hardly see the light of day and the only workout they recieve is to their fingers on the control pad and the snacks their mothers provide. You know you don't see kids outside playing group sports and this is not neccessarily the children's fault as the school boards have banned the use of the fields during and after school hours. The kids are not in the streets playing everthing from hide:n:seek to road hockey out of fear the bylaw officer might happen by, i truly feel sorry for today's generation since not only are they loosing out on much needed exercise but more importantly the inter action with other kids.

It's great that technology has advanced and made things simpler however in some areas it's harmed us, i'm not talking about children alone and what i mean by that is i had an occasion at KFC our power went out which meant we lost the use of the electronic cash registers. Well with 5 teenagers there it became a chinese fire drill trying to service the customers, these kids have used calculators most of their lives and couldn't figure out the numbers (eh gads).

I'm warning all you people with kids that are gaining weight don't think about Walmart, Zeller's, The Bay or Sears for cloths as those boneheads still think they need to purchase small, medium and large for kids and adults, when were in an extra large or larger world. Mom and dad your not of the hook either as i know were in a 2 job fast pasted world however we spend far to much time sitting in line at fast food places instead of home cooked meals. Ther is enough blame to go around and sadly we point our fingers everywhere except at the biggest offender and thats ourselves.

As always please leave your comments if you choose to as it would be nice to know what you think,

see you soon....
