They dont call TV the idiot box for nothing..
Far too many kids have grown up with TV having been their babysitter while mom was busy. Add video games into the mix and we have the most sedentary kids in the world with serious health issues that weren’t seen in generations past.
Good stuff! Keep bringing it!
