Child Obesity.

Each hour a child watches TV raises his risk of obesity by 12%. Each hour of physical activity lowers a child's risk of obesity by 10%.

We are allowing our children to lounge in front of the TV and video without exercising. It is a proven fact that this can lead to many health problems later in their lives. It also does not allow them to use their imaginations in play, the videos games, in my opinion are mind numbing.

Are we raising a generation who do not have any imagination? If they can not entertain themselves without the TV or a video game what will this mean for the future?
