Yeah I saw that this morning too on Fox and Friends.

I'm kinda mixed. Whatever gets them to lose the weight I guess. Because it's realy getting bad. You have kids already getting adult stage Diabetes and everything because of being overweight. I heard somewhere the average 12 year old eats 5 cheeseburgers a week?

I mean kids aren't just a little plump anymore like when I was growing up you always had that one kid who may have been a little chubby.

Nowadays we're talking kids 100 plus pounds overweight. And this is weight they'll likely never lose no matter what they do.

Another thing. In the 90's courts ruled Physical Educaton out as a mandatory requirement like it was when I grew up because it was discriminatory to non-athletic kids. Result? Morbidly Obese kids with Congestive Heart failure by the time theyre 18.

It's very very sad. And the billons of dollars these kids as adults are going to strain the healthcare system with?

I say if you gotta pay a kid to do some jumping jacks and run track. Do it!
