Fat / Hungry Kids In America

     I must admit that I am confused about kids in America, especially their diets.
Almost daily I see ads wanting people to feed the hungry kids, saying 1 in 6 go to bed hungry. Just last week I was a special report on the news that an estimated 65% of kids in the USA will become obese by age 35.
     Now, my math isn't great but 65% is close to 2 out of 3, right? Two out of three is four out of six. So out of every 6 kids in America: one is hungry and 4 are on the fast lane to obesity. So only one out of every kid is eating a healthy diet.

     I feel for the kids in Africa, Asia, India and all the world over who starve. But we here in America must do better for our own kids first. Parents, don't give in to your kids when they ask for all the crappy junk food. Look at them with an honest eye and ask yourself, "Is my kid getting a healthy diet?"
     Fast food is okay every once in a while but real home cooked food is what makes us real. Take the time to cook a real meal. I know....it takes time that you say you don't have. But aren't your kids worth the time and effort? The kiddos will not only get better nutrition form a home cooked meal but they will, more importantly, feel your love. You took the time to prepare a meal for them instead of just grabbing a burger from the drive through.

     It is true that I do not have children (fruit of my loins) to call my own. But if I did (and  still have hope God will give me rug rats if it's His will) I would spare no expense in money nor time to provide the very best for them.
