Why kids are fat

A new study released by Bristol University claims that youth obesity is linked to shorter sleep times.

(sigh) Let's go over this again:

Kids don't need more lying-around time. They need more moving-around time!

The study says TVs, computers, phones, and other goodies should be banned from kids' rooms.

I agree. I say put the kids' rooms in the basement, and the tv, computer, and phones upstairs. Now, get rid of the stairs, and attach a climbing rope. Let the little suckers work their way to the good stuff.

Get rid of school buses, and keep the kids in the house until 10 minutes before class starts. Make them run their asses off to get to school on time.

Get rid of instant messaging. Let's go back to having to walk across the classroom to slip someone a note.

Get rid of video games. Encourage kids to instead revive the old game of ringing a doorbell and then hauling ass to hide.

Get rid of Hot Pockets. Even adults shouldn't be eating those. They're gross.

Slip some rocks into kids' backpacks in the morning, and watch them burn extra calories as they run to school.

Seriously. Am I the only one looking out for the next generation??? Sheesh...

Don't let your kids walk to school. Chase them there.

You should try the hot pockets, they're breathtaking.

I completely agree that children nowadays are becoming way to reliant on technology to do anything for themselves.
Parents! it's up to you to prevent this from ahppening anymore!

I hate the splat of the hot pockets on the commercial. Use your hands, create a different kind of hot pocket. Sorry, different post. Rotten kids.
