Well we made it through 2009 inspite of all the gloom and doom, whether it was really that bad or not. Much like the weather reporters who freak everyone out with thier forecasts, and drive people to stay home when it is NOT THAT BAD! The media elevated the economic status to red alert and did thier best to scare the shit out of everyone. When the talking heads are recommending people to not eat in restaurants, we have a problem. One of the best forms of entertainent that comes with getting fed is going out to eat! Save the 200 dollars that buys the next playstation rig and keep the kids off the couch! Good idea is to bring the spoiled brats out to eat food that does not come with a plastic toy made in china. I applaud the families who bring thier kids to CROP and sit at the Chefs table to get them excited about food, REAL FOOD! It works every time! Our kids for the most part have become devoid of the desire to eat real food, much of the blame falls squarely on the parents shoulders and it time to get tough! If we are going to combat the obesity crisis we need to focus on 2 simple things. 1- Dont cave to the easy way out and let the kids demand shit to eat. 2- They have to get out and excercise. Bring back dodgeball, bring back Gym class everday, smash the X box and playstation!
Oh well…. Happy New Year and lets hope 2010 brings positive change!
Is that your spoiled brat?
