It's not the transfat, which is naturally in some foods and when processed was orignially known as hydrogenated fat, soda or white bread. It is over indulged narcissistic kids who have ready access to over stuffed refrigerators who haven't walked a mile in their life unless its for a beer or pizza. You are seeing the results of the Velcro Generation where kids can't tie a shoe, add w/o a calculator and are driven to their little league games a quarter mile from their homes. We have a fashion industry (it goes by other names) that de-emphasizes the male body (feminization) with the baggy look and pack our girls into provocative wears. The need to attract the opposite sex continues. The substitute for the natural male appearance is tattoos and jewelry. Girls already had the jewelry. Now they have the tattoos to go along with the gelatonous masses hanging from exposed areas. Although more girls are playing sports, schools have de-emphasized physical education. The nanny-staters blame the food industry and say little about individual responsibilities. Can't have a victim if you do that. So we're stuck with boys wearing fat woman clothes (no offense meant) and girls that look like sausage rolls or are skinny fat girls. No other time in history has man had so many benefits and comforts. You can't expect much from the me-firsters who can't pass a mirror w/o stopping for reasons only known to themselves. Many have failed to learn about The Emperor's New Clothes and are being swindled out of their health. A lack of humility will do that. Now our children have a false sense of "self-esteem" and by the time they leave our substandard schools, they are fat, dumb and happy.

This whole discussion reminds me of Mrs. Peters. She was the Church Lady at my parish and she was in charge of the altar boys, not the priests. She was a retired junior high school teacher and she was always going on about how "kids today are out of shape and most can't even run a single lap around the track." She called it "televisionitis." And this was in the mid-70s.
