Sometimes I see people posting pictures of their kids on FB and every now and then there will be a seriously obese child. First thing that comes to mind is it's the parents/grandparents fault. That's child abuse. Kid's are a product of their environment. America needs to stop screwing up their kids. We need to make better decisions when it comes to raising kids.

It does seem there has been an increase in laziness in this country for quite some time now. It's like the millions of able bodied people out there aren't working when there are plenty of jobs to be worked. And a lot of these jobs are the ones that typically required 'manly men' to work them. Again, I am just talking here, no data to support but a few others out there have talked about this same thing like Mike Rowe who did the show Dirty Jobs.

Even if we had universal healthcare, we need to address the above issue as well imo because doctors can only do so much for overweight lazy people with heart disease.
