RE: Electronics are the reason why kids are out of shape now

well i liked video games in the 80's too. We didn't know any better. Imagine being able to travel back in time with one of the systems of today. It would blow everyone's minds. Of course you wouldn't be able to connect it to anything because HDMI wouldn't be invented for another 25 years. :P

"Some people have medical issues and can't lose the weight.

This is definitely an excuse. They can lose weight, it is just going to be substantially more difficult. The main reason why they "can't" lose weight is via lack of desire though. You don't get to the size that some morbidly obese people make it to by living a reasonable and regulated life.

good work on raising the kids right. I think this is similar to how my parents were only they didn't have to keep us off the electronics because they didn't exist. The Atari games would only stay fun for so long.
