Why is it that the government and many other people complain about the obesity rate in America but they don't do anything to stop it? It is the most annoying thing to listen to people complain about it every week if not every day. One thing people aren't really paying attention to that is also happening, as obesity rates go up so do the hours that kids and teenagers spend doing homework. Yes, shall I repeat that, students are spending way to much time doing homework instead of physical activity. What's more perfect than watching television and eating chips while doing homework? It's depressing, but it's what this world is coming to. So if we are going to put a stop to obestiy rates we need to stop giving so much homework.
