This Is A Bad Subject….
January 20th, 2010….Get me started on some days…..weight loss and weight loss supplement. They say obesity is skyrocketing, especially among children. And they wonder why? “What has changed that has caused this”, they ask? “It’s an epidemic”, they say….and I agree with that. What has changed, though, is the fact that ALOT of the “overweight” children don’t get outside hardly at all because they are either eating or sitting in front of the computer or the game system. Sometimes they do both at the same time. Did you know that they no long have JUST the “average hours of television watched”? They now have the “average hours of television watched” AND the “average screen hours”, in which they include computer usage and game system usage. Is that like bad or what? I am SOOOOOO glad that I, as a first time parent, put a limit on the television, and computer and game system time that my child was allowed from the time he was BORN!!! It’s been a whole lot easier for me to have that standard already, now that my child is getting up into grade school, than to have to try to incorporate a limit on “screen hours” now!!!
Blessings!!! And thanks for listening to my ranting!!!
