To eat or not to eat..

Over the past couple of years as I continue to grow in age and in wisdom, I have been noticing that many children that ride the same bus as me and how many of them are obese. I have one question to ask and that is why? How could parents in this day and age let their children get so big? I know that some of the kids can’t help it, but some can. The kids that eat large amounts of food each day and then play video games or watch television hours on end they are not getting the physical activity. I have watched many news stories about how parents can help there kids. There have been many studies that want the children to take a type of medicine to help them stop eating as much; I believe that this isn’t right. Children should just be kids and run and play and be kids. I also believe that children mock what they see done. So if your parents don’t participate in physical activities then maybe you don’t either. There are many reports that show that if you tell you children to eat less that it could cause that child to develop an eating disorder. At all cost we want to avoid this in the kids today. I just think that in closing to this argument just let kids be kids make them get out of the house and play. And parents you should join them make it a family thing
