Kids don't react like adults, but neither do some adults like you with your comments on here, clearly this did not distract you from whatever else you were doing whilst not thinking straight.
Why don't we sell all the kids fields at the schools for housing, take away kids play areas for more housing, stop spending money on youth clubs, or activities, bring in HSE laws that remove all the fun, imagine being allowed to climb a tree with all that danger, sorry got sidetracked there and forgot they already done this, then expect the kids to stay normal size, when it is not JUST kids that are getting fat.
They need encouragement to actually give a shit about themselves, I was very fortunate and went to military school all my life where pe/activities really were pushed.
Most kids have both parents out to work thier guts out just to make ends meet, no real family time, where they might pursue hobbys/activities I always did roller hockey myself, even playing a tournament game against the germans when I was 15, and was supposed to be a army tournament I was still at school!!
Eating right/healthy lifestyle starts at home, but it helps if mum/dad actually have time to cook decent food or just quicky or takeaway food as that's all the time they got.
This government, as previous ones have killed family life, and that is imo a major cause, also junk food is cheaper.
