Our Children are Couch Potatoes (and Pastas, and Chips, and . . .)  Children studied from Minnesota and Iowa don't exercise. They watch TV, play video games, eat junk, get fat and get diabetes and hypertension. Why can't parents step up and do something about this? The Journal of Pediatrics recently published this study where 709 children 7-12 years of age were given pedometers for a week to track their activity. Per the American Academy of Pediatrics these children should be taking about 12,000 steps per day. Only 12% of boys and 16% of girls met this quota. Nearly 45% of those who didn't were fat. In my opinion, a child should be in active play or exercise twice as many hours a day than he is sitting and watching TV or playing video games. If parents enforced this and fed their kids healthy foods, we'd have no fat kids. It's not rocket science, just simple thermodynamics. If your kid is fat, get a pedometer and set him/her a quota for the day of steps they must walk BEFORE they can watch TV. That would make some changes in a hurry. Don't you agree? P.S. It works for adults too!! Los Angeles Times http://www.latimes.com/features/health/newsletter/la-he-kids21apr21,0,6395308.story
