.. If you haven't noticed, you are asleep at the wheel..

  Just look around..  Although it hasn't manifested itself in my grandkids and great grandkids, it seems clear that some kids have 'put on the pounds', since the plandemic hit.

  It seems like the kids that were overweight, are much more overweight now..  The bad guys needed the plandemic , if they were to stand a chance of getting back in charge.  ..Brought on all kinds of misery.

  ..During this time, kids body mass index..doubled !

My observation is that it didn't start with the pandemic and it isn't just kids. We American's eat cheap low quality food (for which we pay too much) and we have been putting on pounds for years. Can't say about the rest of the world.

I've been watching fat lazy kids walk by for the last 20 years. The skinny ones don't know how to do much either.

The majority of fat people I see are young adults and mostly women. It makes my eyes hurt to see to see a blimpo waddling along in tights exposing all that lard to everyone and I see plenty of them every time I go into most larger stores. That is part of why I seldom go to those places.

Sometimes I wish my great grand children were a little less active when they are here. It's mostly, "Grandpa will you help me find a lizard, horny toad, bug, etc. or "my bike has a flat tire, the seat needs adjusted, or the handlebars are crooked" plus many other things that requires my assistance. The latest thing for the two oldest, 10 and 13, is driving my old jeep which is much easier physically for grandpa. There are miles of back roads, straight and flat, for them to learn to drive on with almost no traffic so it's a pretty safe activity and not too stressful for me. Someone has to teach them and I'm about the only option. I'm also trying to teach them how to tell directions and it isn't going well. Are females just lacking in the direction telling gene? "Which way are we going?, I dunno', OK, where is the sun ?, Uh, up there in the sky". At least the 10 year old got a compass for her birthday (?) and has kind of got the basics down on how it works. The 13 year old doesn't seem to care and neither can figuer out the jeep has a compass in the dash board.

By the way, both are straight A students in what they are being taught in school.

  Guys, if you read that link..you will find that the CDC is saying that kids' BMI has doubled since the plandemic hit .
  https://nypost.com/2021/09/17/childrens-bmi-doubled-during-pandemic-shocking-cdc-study/

  If for instance, a child was 4 pounds over, he/she is 8 pounds over now...if 10 pounds over, he/she is 20 over now.

 I attended my usual county fair about a month ago, and was startled to see how many were suffering form "insulin resistance"..as the TV ad calls it !

  O&S,;
  must rejoice that you great grandkids are fit and active; not just for their sake, but for g grandpa's too.  That is rewarding to have them interested in doing what g grandpa does.

    I was thrilled to see my great grandson at 5 years, take to blacksmithing.

I will confess. I dote on my great grand children, all five from 2 years old to 13 and pay attention to any of their questions and answer as best I can and I allow them to do things their mothers won't. They help keep me moving around and my mind working to some extent.

By the way, that is a fine looking young man you have there. I won't post any pictures of any of mine although I don't know why when their mothers have them all over facebook.

  Those great grandchildren are surely a blessing.  I sympathize with folks who may have estrang d parts of their families, where they hardly can see and enjoy the children

  Yes..that photo sensitivity...   I suspect photos are more open to public through FB than here, but I only leave photos on for a limited time, so far as I can help it.

  Considering how many millions of kids are on FB, why should one be more at risk than another?

Obesity has been an epidemic for years in this country, and has cost more lives than covid ever will. IN fact many of the so called covid deaths were overweight people getting covid, and basically dying from being over weight.  Our government pretends to be so concerned over covid, but actually subsidizes obesity. 

It appears to be even a badge of honor now for women to have an ass as wide as an axe handle is long.  There just isn't any shame in being over weight anymore, because so many Americans are way over weight. It has become a norm in society, and once it is a norm there is nothing wrong with it.

Hmmm, I lost weight in 2020.   Don't know why, maybe just because I'm getting older.  Some do ya know. :)

The chances of me having a grandchild is between slim and none.
The reason being, we told our daughter we were not raising another kid, or financing one.

I've given our favorite nephew two rifles and a shotgun and he's seen a picture of the ten more he'll get some day.
He's as close to a grandchild as we'll see.

  Sorry to hear that Bug.  Of course, when you have no grandchild to love, love a child that is near and dear..

   Sounds like you are doing the right thing.
