More and more children are battling obesity every day! While many of us were playing outdoors with our friends, a culture of sedentary behavior and horrid eating habits was gaining momentum.
Remember when we were growing up? Bored? Call your buddy. Ask your girlfriend to take a walk to the mall. See if Mom or Dad could play catch or help you build or create something. Doesn't this happen anymore???? What has changed? Are we so busy as to overlook the evolutionary NEED to play, compete and rid ourselves of pent up energy?
Thankfully, our leaders are bringing these and other childhood obesity issues to the forefront. http://bit.ly/bU12jQ
Here's a great take home message: GET OUTSIDE. Play with your children. Go play with your friend's children. Teach each other that time spent running around outdoors is more fun than time spent in front of the TV or computer.
If we all take responsibility for each other we will all win.
