New Dutch research states the obvious: Children should exercise and eat healthfood to be healthy and happy How many of these messages is the Western world going to need? We have reports stacked to the moon stating that children should get enough exercise and eat healthy to become better and well adapted individuals. From the article: "Schools should ensure children get 30 minutes of sport or exercise every day to improve both their health and their brain power, according to the recommendations in an official new report."  But how will these children go outside and be active when their parents are disgusting hamplanets? (Childhood) obesity is child abuse! Again from the article: "The report was drawn up by the sports council, the education council and the council for health and society and follows the publication of figures earlier this year showing that 45% of children aged four to 12 do not get the officially-recommended amount of exercise. The report says that sport is an important part of the education system, encourages children to adopt a healthy lifestyle from a young age, and boosts their social skills."  (Obcity: apparently fat and unhealthy people also have less social skills, any of you ever noticed that?) BTW 45% is about the same percentage of Americans who are obese , so we know where the West is going...
