I think sometimes we over complicate things. Instead of a new "walking bus program".... Maybe we only need to cancel bus rides for those kids who live within walking distance from the school.

I understand there are some people... that don't believe that parents are qualified to raise children. But I would normally expect those people to be called.... grandparents.

Kids may have started getting fat and lazy in America first. But this is now a global trend. The world has become a tiny place in many ways. And the world just keeps getting smaller. Only the poorest of nations still have populations forced to work hard for even just basic needs.

Can modern people enjoy... or even be willing to make time for.... the exercise needed for a healthy body? To keep my heart and lungs healthy.... I believe current science tells me I need to get 90 minutes to 2 hours of Cardiovascular/aerobic exercise per week. Thank God I love cycling. Because no way in hell would I ever exercise that much. But when I count in my cycling fun/hobby.... I seem to be well over my needed exercise time.

But I do tend to fall short of any reasonable time spent on weight training. I keep trying different winter sports for exercise... I haven't found a keeper yet. This winter I plan on trying a gym.

As soon as a small child is found naked and lifeless in a woods near a walking bus stop.... parents will have those kids back on the busses. And no solution will have been found for the many hours of activity a human body needs to be fit.

Meanwhile.... I wonder why dead bodies are always found by walkers and joggers.
