epiphany Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Children are getting pretty fat. Nintendo's Wii computer gaming machine has done a lot for getting once couch potatoed kids semi-active, but now many of them are opting for games such as Virtual Wii, where you use a regular controller pad to play as someone playing the Wii. Laziness. How much are the parents to blame for the bloaterisation of our nation? Should social services be removing these helpless food junkies from the greasy, dripping hands of their serial abusers? How should we punish parents of obese kids? De-skin them and cover them in tabasco sauce before serving them in a pitta to their own litter? Or make them eat road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxforcefive Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Parents can't be held responsible for their chubby kids lack of exercise, all the decent ones are too busy working so they can pay for the latest games console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Glypta Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 It said on the news today that hospitals are spending millions by having to replace ambulances, beds and stretchers because they can't take the weight of some of the lard that is being loaded into them.

vwkittie Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Parents can't be held responsible for their chubby kids lack of exercise, all the decent ones are too busy working so they can pay for the latest games console. That's a very small minded and frankly ridiculous comment. Many parents have to work simply to afford a home in a none crime/drug ridden area, one with decent schools. People are entitled to a good standard of living, including the children. Don't tell me this doesn't benefit the child. Do you think working parents shove their children in front of the TV while they go to work? What exactly is wrong with arranging good quality childcare, often with loving relatives, during the day time? Absolutely nothing. Working 9-5 still leaves plenty of time in the day and at weekends to cook proper food and be active. Anyone who says otherwise is lazy and is using work as an excuse for poor parenting. People nowadays are far too quick to jump on the 'today's busy lifestyle' bandwagon to excuse their laziness. It's absolute rubbish in most cases.

Its all about balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulgarian Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Perhaps if parents allowed them out of the house to play without an armed guard they might be a bit fitter, but we all know that won't happen as statistics show that there are at least 10 paedophiles per child in the UK all hanging about in your back garden just waiting to pounce.

Since that's over 40m more than the UK population somehow I don't think so... http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=348 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
