A member asked:
What should you attribute the 66% obeisity rate in this country to?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obese kids: 1. Kids spend more time playing video games rather than being active outdoors. 2. Kids eat more junk food. 3. People eat cheap food when the economy is bad, and the cheapest foods (fast food) tends to be the worse for you. 4. There are more fast food restaurants now than before. The food they serve in schools is terrible.
