Gessa Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Today I have been for a walk around my home town. I do not do it very often but it was a lovely day so I thought that I would go see. I must say that I was astounded by the number of sub 20 very overweight kids, mainly girls. I got round to thinking why things had changed so much. The conclusion that I rightly or wrongly reached is that they sit in all night playing computer games. CONCLUSION......computers make you FAT!

flamingjimmy Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 No Being in a country where its not safe for your kids to hang out makes them fat! Yeah, that makes perfect sense, I mean America and Germany and the UK (three countries with the largest proportions of overweight people) are clearly also the least safe countries for children. It practically goes without saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
