Let's all take a few moments and congratulate The Washington Post for their current, cutting edge coverage of the latest health and wellness information. In this nation, where type II diabetes is striking children as young as 12 due to inactivity and poor eating habits, thank god we have The Post to inform us that perhaps we shouldn't feed our kids fast food packed with salt, fat, sugar, and processed chemicals. If I were wittier, I would insert the lyrics to an original "Bud Light Real Men of Genius" song in their honor. But in all seriousness- this is a scary prospect. According to the Post, a whopping 93% of available kid's meals at chain restaurants have more than calories than an average 8 year old requires for one meal- that's including those that offer apple slices, raisins, or carrot sticks in lieu of fries. Scary. And people wonder why childhood obesity is a problem?
