It is no longer acceptable to call your classmate a lardy arsed fucker. You now have to respect them and their positive body image.<br />Health and Safety along with schools not wanting to engage in competitive sports means that there is no longer kids racing around playgrounds and playing football or netball at weekends. <br />Lazy sports teachers now consider their day to be finished once the final bell sounds. They are unwilling to offer after school activities. <br />Well meaning sports coaches are not prepared to go through the government's 'nonce tests' to be allowed to teach kids. <br />Sweets can be brought anywhere. From petrol stations, grocers, supermarkets and anywhere else with sufficient shelf space. Local councils hand out licences for sweet shops, regardless of the fact that there are probably 2 dozen others within walking distance.<br />Kids vegetate in front of video games. Their parents to afraid to let them go out by themselves and too bone idle to accompany them.<br />The art of preparing a meal from scratch is in deep decline as buying processed food and takeaways is so much less demanding.<br /><br />Put that lot together and it is inevitable that you will end up with an obese, unfit society. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
