Does Congress Really Want To Protect Our Children? Do You?
In doing the documentary on the plastic surgery of Summer Haze I have been confronted with some facts that both startle and disturb me. Since liposuction is one of the most common forms of plastic surgery I started looking at the cause.
Obviously the cause is being overweight, but why?
You are probably thinking South are you joking? You have to ask? the cause is poor nutrition and not enough exercise.
For the most part you are correct. But what is it that has brought about thisw poor nutrition and lack of excersize.
In my studying this I have discovered that childhood obesity in the United States now sits at near 15 %. That is obesity people...not overweight but grossly overweight enough so to cause drastic health problems.
Did you know that an obese child will lose 17 to 27 years off of his/her life? That doesn't count smoking and other contributing factors...just the obesity.
Thirty years ago type 2 diabetes in children was virtually non existant, now it has increased to alarming rates and at a proportion that is directly associated with weight increases in children as a whole.
Other previously non existant problems are showing up as well, fatty liver disease for instance.
Yet in all the attention that is being tossed at protecting children from sex on TV and on the internet, virtually no one is giving this problem anything more than a little lip service.
For at least two generations now children have grown up thinking of fast food as a "treat", they spend time with video games instead of outdoors playing, diet and exercise has given way to convenience and laziness, and as a result our children are becoming obese and dying.
I have news for you, and for our president and congress. People making adult movies by and for adults are not harming your children, we want you to monitor them and keep them away from our product we want your children to grow up happy, healthy and well adjusted. We aren't doing them anywhere NEAR the harm that you are.
Stop gorging them with empty calories, get them outside to play and if our legislature wants to look for child abuse, they need look no further than the continuous procession of advertising of fast food that targets our children all day long.
Wake up people McDonalds and television are babysitting your kids.
Are you going to take responsibility or just ignore it and hope it will go away? Maybe you will change your mind when you attend your childs funeral...
Hey it motivated John Walsh.
