I think the obesity factor among kids is due to complete lack of exercise.

I live in a nice development with lots of parks and walking trails, and I virtually never see kids outside. I think they are all inside watching TV or playing video games.

I've posted this before, but there are kids up and down my block, and I never see them play outside with each other. There are girls that live right across the street from each other that are one year in age apart, yet they never play with each other.

When I was a kid growing up, we were not allowed to watch TV during the day. In fact, we weren't allowed in the house during the day, unless we were sick.
