I think parents are too protective of their children and fear they will be harmed by all manner of things like child molesters, ticks, west nile virus, etc etc that they don't let their kids out of the house without supervision.
Since everyone has to work so much, that is just not enough time for kids to burn off any excess calories.
Then you have all these do-gooders who will report parents to child protective services if they let their kids play unsupervised outdoors.
This country has stacked the deck against kids.

You know what I do? I don't keep my kids from snacks. I have fruits, vegatables, healthy crackers, cheese, etc available at all times. They don't drink pop or kool aide unless it's a party.
They can have a cookie, or a piece of candy once they have eaten their lunch/dinner.
You might be surprised, but it is true....they choose the good food 95% of the time.
This, paired with letting them run around and get dirty (yes, they get scratches, bumps, bruises) when we can....and my kids are in great physical and mental condition with strong immune system and a little toughness.

Parents need to stand up for their kids rights to have a happy childhood without big brother breathing down their necks.

Just my opinion.
