Kids these days

I was just reading an article about obesity in young children. We all know Americans are fat. I'm one of them! But the point of this article was that children ages 1-5 years who have a television in their rooms are more likely to be obese regardless of genetic background.

Excuse me!? Since when do pre-schoolers need televisions in their rooms? Age 1 to 5? What's a one year old need a TV for? Catching up on his soaps? "Man I can't wait to see what happens today. I missed yesterday because of naptime."

Heaven help us.
