Another undeniable factor is that children do not 'play out' from sun up to sun down....they do not play skipping games, they do not play hop scotch or Tag....all the busy active pursuits that punctuated our childhoods.
Instead they are in their rooms holding onto media consoles....burning out their brains but burning no calories.
not sure if its the kids who do not want to play out or the parents that stop em and prefer em to be indoors. there seems a fear of there being child molesters lurking on every corner and its rare to see even groups of 10 year ols going to school on their own without parents being with em.
